Barrow Upon Soar, High Street c.1965
Photo ref:

More about this scene
The camera looks north-south along the High Street as it crosses the Leicester to Nottingham railway, and at a not unattractive group of houses and shops ranging in date from the 18th century to modern. The modern intrusions, such as Kinsell's electrical shop and the adjacent post office (left), do little to enhance the group. Surviving K6 telephone kiosks (left) are now of historic interest, being designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott in 1935, based on the tomb of architect Sir John Soane at St Giles-in- the-Fields (1616).
