Barrow Upon Soar, High Street And The Village Sign c.1965
Photo ref:

More about this scene
This traffic island at the south end of the High Street, with its random stone walling, double yellow lines, and Festival of Britain-style sign, somehow epitomises a rather unlovely village. Even the church of Holy Trinity, masked here by the foreground tree, was built in forbidding Mountsorrel granite c1865 by Derbyshire architects, Stevens & Robinson. Internally, there is a mid 17th-century monument to Theophilus Cave in the chancel, and one from the mid l8th century to Martha Utber in the south transept.
