The image, taken from an 1817 aquatint by James Rouse, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and significance of this location during the Napoleonic Wars. The scene showcases a bustling village road with soldiers and carriages passing through. The cobbled streets add to the charm and authenticity of this historical moment. The buildings stand tall, reflecting their importance as they served as headquarters for one of Britain's most esteemed military leaders. Horses can be seen gracefully trotting along, pulling carriages that transport important figures involved in strategic discussions about battle plans. This visual narrative transports us back in time to witness firsthand how Arthur Wellesley, also known as the Duke of Wellington, orchestrated his operations during this critical period.
