More about this scene
We are looking up Wedmore's Church Street, past St Mary Magdalene's Church; we can just see the Old Vicarage in the distance. On fair days, sheep and pigs were penned outside the George Inn, and hooks to hold the hurdling can still be found on its walls. Gypsies also sold horses here, and there was much drunkenness.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
Our family, living in India at the time, decided to travel to England for the Queens Coronation in 1953. We stayed in Wedmore for two months, in what was known as The Elmset Hall Hotel. It was a fun time for a small boy, me. I went to a school in Wedmore run by an elderly lady, whose name I have now forgotten. She told my mother I would never amount to anything. I made Captain in a major airline just to prove her wrong.
