More about this scene
In medieval times Holcombe was built up a hill to escape the plague in the old village below. It prospered thanks to coal mining, and packhorses carried the coal down the street to the Fosse Way. Nowadays it is a prosperous commuting area, and modern semis punctuate the old stone cottages.
