More about this scene
The south-west side of Ware High Street changed drastically when it was decided to build a new Tesco Store in 1960. The building on the left with the twin flag poles had been Swan & Nickholes, the grocer's, and was rebuilt as the Eastern Electricity Board's showrooms. Long after the Fleur de Luce public house was closed, the site was taken by Jenning & Bewley, printers, and Ware Library - both of these were lost to Tesco, and so was Gideon Talbot's car repair workshop and roadside pavement-mounted petrol pumps. Fortunately, the French Horn public house on the east side of the High Street survived.
