Hi martyk,



Thanks for working this one out, we'll update the catalogue and post the correct location details here in due course. The original Aerofilms Ltd Register entry for this image merely says "cancelled", so your identification is a great help.



Yours, Katy

That's an interesting observation, it probably means that they've just come up a substantial hill, an extra horse would have been hitched onto the front in this way to assist. You're right, it wasn't usual to harness horses up in this way for any other purpose.

Maybe the two drivers have just parked up and gone to the pub for a quick half! Or have gone to have a look at what possibly looks like a car with people around it back down the street?

They may have been delivering to the building on the corner of Mill Street. It was probably an inn then - it is the Palmers pub the Three Horseshoes now.
