More about this scene
A pleasant, traffic-free scene with the horse and cart unattended, patiently waiting for the master's return from Illsley the saddlers. The post office is on the left then Corney Manufacturing Jeweller. Amongst other businesses is the chemist beyond the Crown Hotel and opposite, the family firm of Matkin's printers, who from 1881 to 1941 published an almanac listing people and occupations in town and county. Flore's House protrudes in the distance - one of the oldest houses in Oakham dating from the 14th century.
