File:14 And 15 Gold Hill - Shaftesbury (7247927412).jpg
This is the famous Gold Hill in Shaftesbury. It was at this location that Ridley Scott directed his Hovis advert in the early 1970s. It featured a boy dragging a bike up the hill loaded with loaves of bread.
Perched on a hilltop with extensive views over the gentle undulating Blackmore Vale, Shaftesbury is one of England's most scenically located and charming historic market ...

On the right is 14 and 15 Gold Hill. Grade II listed.
