More about this scene

The parked lorry belongs to Jones & Co, Corn and Seed Merchant; perhaps it is more than mere coincidence that a transport café is just across the road. In the far distance are Llanymynech Rocks, a 740ft-high limestone crag, which is now a nature reserve. The English border runs directly through the village, so that Welsh Sabbath drinking laws meant that on Sunday half was 'dry' and all the boozing was done on the English side.
