More about this scene
A view down the hill towards London, with the Wellington pub on the right sporting its sign depicting the Duke. By mid-summer the signpost on the lamp standard would have been removed under new war-time emergency regulations and, in the face of increasing food rationing, the branch of United Dairies on the left has elected to spruce up its premises with a new coat of white paint; a useful aid to pedestrians in the stringent blackout conditions. The heavy curtains in the windows above are a further indication of these.
