More about this scene
E J and D Cartwright's newsagent's and tobacconist's shop is the building with the sun blinds, whilst further along Garner's baker's shop (fresh Hovis and pies daily) was doing some good trade; but little in the way of traffic is around. Beyond the village is the historic Parrox Hall.
