More about this scene
Bell Street, part of the original town of Sawbridgeworth, runs from London road eastwards towards the church and the school. The site of the annual horse fair up to the early 1900s, it is named after the Bell public house, which stood opposite the sack hoist at the maltings. The proposed removal of the tree by the maltings in the 1980s was the subject of a general protest. Laundresses would have hung their washing to dry on the field, now a cricket pitch, behind the buildings on the right. In the 1960s, Achille Serre provided a dry cleaning service to the inhabitants.
