Twycross, The Village c.1955

More about this scene
The camera has been set up on a triangle of land at the junction of the A444 Burton Road with the road to Sheepy Magna, which drifts out of shot to the left. The houses of the late 18th and early 19th centuries are almost picturesque behind hedges and walls, with a restrained petrol sign being all that is needed to alert drivers to the garage's presence - petrol companies are now in the van of unbelievable garishness and visual offensiveness. Out of sight is the Curzon Arms Hotel.
