More about this scene
The pub pictured here, the Spinner and Bergamot, was built in 1792, and is named after two racehorses. Enlargement of the sign in the photograph shows that 'Burgamot' is spelt with a 'u' rather than an 'e'. Burgamott was a kind of tapestry made from the hair of goats or oxen, so perhaps there is an old connection here with spinning and weaving.

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I and my brothers grew up in the paper shop on the left of this picture and a car parked outside was a rarity. My memory tells me this one belonged to the photographer who took the picture.
