More about this scene
Overlooking the Market Square is the Black Bear Inn. The building dates from 1634. Today the ground floor has been painted white, so that the timberwork can only be seen on the floor above. The cobbles in the foreground can just be distinguished in the photograph – it is amazing that these still survive to add to the charm of the entire square.
