More about this scene
The weir provided power for the ancient mill that has been here since the time of the Knight's Templars. Behind it was the old brewery, which was used as a billet during the First World War. The brewery chimney came down in 1959, and the remaining building became the site of the bus station. On the outskirts of the town was the Naval Training Ship HMS 'Cabot'. The first arrivals in 1942 were unable to take the rum ration because the security fence was not completed. Lord Haw Haw heard this, and broadcast that HMS 'Cabot' had been sunk - much to the amusement of the locals.
