More about this scene

The High Street runs northwards, parallel to the through road to Irchester. It is a narrow road with a mix of architectural styles and has suffered much rebuilding since the 1950s.

The Boot Inn, an 18th-century painted stone and thatched-roofed building, survives, while the shop beyond is now Whibley's, a newsagent and general store.
