More about this scene
This old gateway in the 19th century gave access to the Taylors Arms, the building half-way up on the left, which was destroyed by fire in 1930. The passage was also the way to Hart's printing works, which was in the shed at the end in its early days. This has always been a good spot for fly posting: here on the left we have amongst others a poster which announces a whist drive, and another tells us that Gipsy Smith is appearing in the town. On the right two notices both advertise local papers, the East Anglian and the Essex Chronicle. The plastered and pargetted room above now has no means of access and has to be reached by ladder.
