More about this scene
Here we see two fine old coaching inns - the Lion, on the left, dating back to 1500, and the 18th-century George Hotel on the right. It is the early days of motoring, and the hotels are clearly competing against each other with the facilities on offer, including inspection pits! Further down the street, we see a wonderfully-posed assortment of turn-of-the-century trades - a delivery boy in his striped apron, someone pushing a cart with a water barrel, and the village postman.
