More about this scene
A rare Lea Francis convertible is parked outside Randolph Antiques. Between the houses in the distance was the site of the Roman Catholic church dedicated to the Holy Trinity and St Augustine of Canterbury in 1926; it was never completed, and the remains were demolished in 1977. Next door to Randolph's stands the Cock pub, an old establishment and one of a portfolio of Baldock public houses owned by John Izzard Prior in 1823. The gardens in the foreground are at the corner of Mansfield Road close to the Lodge. The Lodge was originally the entrance to Elmwood House, located close to the site of the Kayser Bondor factory built c1919 for the Full-Fashioned Hosiery Company - this later became a large Tesco store.
