More about this scene
The Castle and Ball Hotel, an old established commercial hotel and posting house on the north side of the High Street, has a distinctive tile-hung front with pierced barge-boards decorating the three gable ends. These have since been replaced with plainer examples, although the balls finishing the gables are still there. On the ground floor is a pentice, a common feature of the High Street frontages, which must have kept many a market trader and his customers dry. In the road are the corn rails - these were removed in 1929.
