More about this scene
Moving further east along Main Street, we reach the junction with New Inn Lane on the right. Behind the telegraph pole is the small mid 19th-century Methodist chapel with its porch and ornamental bargeboards to the gable. Opposite is a row of cottages; the left-hand one is called Lace Cottage, a reminder of an important cottage industry for women hereabouts, which supplemented the men's meagre agricultural labourers' wages.
