This watercolour shows a scene outside the 'St George and Dragon Inn' in Clyst St George. The large carriage is likely a public stagecoach, while the smaller trap would be a private vehicle. Inns like this one provided refreshments, lodgings and sometimes fresh horses to weary travellers looking to break their journey.
