More about this scene

The architectural quality falls off somewhat in the southern part of the town. This view looks along the London Road to The Square, with Hinwick Road to the left. The Nags Head dominates with its 1880s gabled bay and oriel windows. The clock was installed in 1953 to commemorate the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. The Shell garage on the right has been rebuilt, now for UK Petroleum.
