More about this scene

Seen from Lower High Street, this was the main A30 through the town and a busy stop for buses and coaches. Halfway down the left of the street, the whitewashed George Hotel, now renamed, developed as a coaching inn. The spire behind is that of Chard's large Congregational church.
