More about this scene
We are at the top of Main Street, looking back down through the village from the bus station. Traffic will always be a problem to the small fishing village, and here we see the two old buildings which make the Main Street entrance narrow and restrict traffic. Coaches, omnibuses and so on have always had to park at the top of the street and let the visitors wander down. The large square building on the right had for many years a large brass weighing machine outside. For 6d the showman would 'Guess Your Weight'. You got your money back if he was not within 2-3lbs of your real weight when he weighed you straight afterwards.
