Dist:0.2km<br/>The river flows along the centre of High Street. Would have been in a dreadful state in the good old days. [[[432264]]] shows the scene a little further along.

Dist:0.3km<br/>The river runs between the main carriageway (and pavements) of the High Street and a further walkway to the south, separating the two lines of shops. The post office can be seen beyond the floral display.

Dist:0.3km<br/>An old cinema, it may well have been open in the days of the silent screen. Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keeton, Ruby Keeler, they may have been here. According to the Reader's Digest Great Illustrated Dictionary a palladium is "A sacred object held to have the power to preserve a city or state possessing it." You can see why Midsomer Norton did not want to pull it down.
