More about this scene
Photographed before its conversion to a one-way system, the High Street appears a quiet market town thoroughfare. On the right, the postman delivers the mail to the Automobile Association agent from his wicker handcart. A few doors away, the Swan Hotel has lost the bunch of grapes which, from the time of the Skidmores who owned it from 1692-1820, hung from the hook on the extreme end of the wrought iron inn sign. Some inns displayed a wheatsheaf to inform customers that a new brew of beer was ready for consumption; the Swan hung the grapes to tell patrons that it was open for business.
