Thishamlet lies at the foot of the hill on which Great Torrington stands. The River Torridge with its 17th-century bridge, is still the main feature here, just as it was when this view was taken.
Great Western Railway motor buses like the one struggling up the hill past the Cornish Bank were introduced in 1903, but it was many years before the horse disappeared from the streets.
The horse and cart are approaching the old packhorse bridge, which was later to be by-passed by a new road bridge.
