This authentic 1970s colour photograph captures a peaceful street scene outside the Luttrell Arms Hotel in Dunster, Somerset. Taken in 1975, the image provides a factual record of this historic 15th-century coaching inn, notable for its medieval stone porch and the vibrant red autumn creeper climbing its facade. The hotel prominently displays the “THF” (Trust Houses Forte) logo, a common sight in British hospitality during this decade.
The scene documents the architectural transition from the hotel’s ancient stonework to the smooth, pale yellow stucco of the adjoining cottages. In the foreground, a bronze-coloured Ford Escort with the registration plate OJB 624L is parked along the narrow, sloping road. Two pedestrians in mid-1970s attire are seen walking past the hotel, while a classic white Ford Transit van is visible further up the hill. As a self-contained archival record, this shot preserves the timeless character and quiet village life of Dunster during the 1970s.
