The High Street is situated between White Hart Lane and Red Lion Square, the main shopping area today, the earliest we can find the name High Street is in 1601 when it was spelt Highstreete. In 1876 it was shown on a map as running from Cross Green to the Church. The High Street then being called Churchgate Street. The High Street still retains many fine old buildings.

The photo on the right although it is inscribed the High Street, shows The Ship public house  which is really in Bridge Street.
