Thank you :)

So the pile outside is where the horse left some ''rubber'' as it peeled out of the shop. :D

Trying really hard not to make some comment involving "skid marks"   ;D

Thanks Kay really interesting to know that it is still in use today!

So to summarise, we are looking for a street in Southern England that had a blacksmiths shop.  Shouldn't be too hard to find, then!

I imagine the larger timber-framed building next to the blacksmiths is a pub. I did wonder if the blacksmith's was also a wheelwright shop due to the cart, but that could just be there whilst its horse is being shod. Added: Pretty sure it is a wheelwrights as well, the metal circle on  the ground is used to rest the wheel on while fixing its metal tyres - not sure what its called.

None of the above is very helpful in locating the scene ;D

Well, you've narrowed it down a little bit more: street in southern England with a blacksmiths and wheelwrights, and possibly a pub next door... What could be easier? ;D

Actually, there are a few minor clues which might get us a bit further (or not).

Tile-hanging has already been mentioned, but I noticed the brickwork on the near building. Flemish bond, I think, but from a quick look online that helps more with dating than a geographical location, though others may know better. But this appears to be somewhere that ordinary buildings used brick rather than stone.

The pub is timber-framed, and I think there may be a similar building in the distance. This suggests somewhere with a good supply of trees - but it doesn't really narrow it down much.

However, unlike the nearer building, the pub roof looks to be made of stone. This is fairly unusual in the south-east of England, so might it help to focus the search area a bit?

Also, in view of the moss on the pub roof, and the shadows in the doroways, I suspect the road goes roughly NW-SE, and we're looking towards the SE.

The cart by the wall could be a clue to location as the style differs according to area - it looks very boxy. Any chance of closer look Spidermonkey?

Arthur's observation about the stone roof on the 'pub' plus the small tiles used for the roof on the left plus the tile hanging could make this Sussex as suggested by Jenb.  Horsham Stone  and Keymer Tiles look very similar to the two different roofing materials in the picture.

or Surrey looking at the Six Bells Horley which is a similar style to Spidermonkeys
