Description:Note the cattle tethered by the Swan Hotel, whose sign can be seen clearly in the centre of the photograph. This could possibly be a weekly Saturday market.

Shaw's House and the High House can be seen on the left of the Swan, and the sign above the steps belongs to Henry Jenkinson, barber, who worked from no. 42.
