More about this scene
A Ford Consul heads out of Fareham. West Street is a mile long, and this section is now pedestrianised. The clock (centre left) has been removed, a line of trees has been planted to the right, and there are some benches for weary shoppers. On the right, just behind where the lorry is parked, there is now a shopping precinct. There are still a variety of shops to be found here. On the left where the cars are parked is Westbury Manor Museum, which has installed iron sculptures in the town centre around West Street. This was done to celebrate the millennium and the life of Henry Cort, who lived on the outskirts of Fareham. He pioneered a method of forging iron during the Industrial Revolution.
