More about this scene
John Bunyan, author of 'Pilgrim's Progress', was born near Elstow, and lived in a cottage on Elstow High Street for four years after marrying his first wife. Bunyan's home in the village stood on the west side of the northern end of Elstow High Street, but was demolished in the 1960s. The Moot Hall in Elstrow dates back to the 17th century and now houses a most interesting museum which commemorates Bunyan's life. The guilty appearance of the boys in this photograph suggests that they too enjoy the mildly hooligan pastimes that caused Bunyan so much angst in later life.
