16 June 2007 - Sherborne

A sunny early morning walk around Sherborne. The hanging baskets were looking very nice.

The view down Higher Cheap Street.

The old lamp outside the George Inn. A relic from the past when Eldridge Pope, the Dorchester Brewers owned the place. They no longer exist.

A few views down Cheap Street.

Cheap Street church. The benches look new.

Similar lamps at the Cross Keys.

The Cross Keys sign.

Half Moon Street. The estate agents on the left hand end has an old insurance fire mark on the wall. Click on the sign to see it. To learn more about fire marks click here.
The date on the buildings is 1701. Click on the wall to the right of the lamp to read the masons inscription.

An unusual property next to the Abbey Bookshop.

More colourful baskets.

Back to the top of Cheap Street.

A new toy shop has opened recently called the Toy Box. There is a good selection of reasonably priced toys on sale. My wife bought some for our grandchildren. Website to be running soon.

A closer look at the new sign.

Quite a mixture of roof types here.

Lots of chimneys.

Another fine display of baskets.
