More about this scene
On the north-east side of the county, Hose is situated close to the Nottinghamshire border in the Vale of Belvoir. The village sits astride an ancient, pre-Roman trackway which ran from Burrough Camp, some six miles south of Melton Mowbray, into Nottinghamshire, with to its south the escarpment of the Wolds. The Grantham-Nottingham Canal of 1793 runs through the parish, and a wharf once served the village. The photograph, taken on the edge of the green and close to the church, records rather mundane, red brick buildings under pantiled roofs, along with a rather more interesting chestnut tree.
