More about this scene
As in picture No 39385, the photographer's activities grip the attention of all those present - with the exception of a border collie, who only has eyes for his master standing beside the laden cart. On the far side of the street are the almshouses bequeathed to the town by the former Sheriff of London Hugh Perry, who held the office in 1632. They were intended to house six poor men and six poor women of the town. A central domed cupola surmounts their six gables, each with its finial. Beyond is the Jolly Reaper inn.
