More about this scene

The Midland Bank is no more, but the flat-roofed building that sticks out like a sore thumb is still there. It now serves as a garage for an ice cream van, and it still has the iron bars over the windows. The first house on the left is named The Old Post Office, and the Old Cobblers Shop is further up the street. The little building squeezed between the two houses (left) is the shop/store of an electrical contractor. The road is the A52.
