Groby, The Village c.1960

More about this scene
A lovely composition of local stone cottages in the lee of the tree-shrouded parish church. They rely on simple but excellent details, such as the timber-bracketed door hood and an unusual cantilevered canted bay window prominent to the right - no incongruous plastic windows and doors in 1960. The modern expansion of Groby as a Leicester suburb is to be glimpsed as the main road swings to the right towards Coalville. In front of the church is a three-storey tower which forms a part of the basically 15th-century Old Hall.
