More about this scene
On the left we can see a line of old-fashioned telegraph poles. Not all post offices in the Fylde had a telegraph office early in the 20th century, nor could they deal with postal orders. Charles Ashton from Thornton-le-Fylde post office had to walk from there to Inskip on most days, and in snow he followed the telegraph poles. The tall chimney above the thatched cottage belonged to Tom Rowe's cheese factory. Run from Preston, it started business in 1930. Part of its sign can be seen just behind the vintage car.
