Busy village square in Eccles, full of people milling about. Large wood-beamed house in the background to the left, in front of which is a small market stall, partly obscured by an old tree in the far left foreground. Groups of figures in the foreground include, from left to right, a man and boy with a spaniel on a lead, four small children begging, an elderly couple walking arm in arm, an old woman seated on the ground with baskets of goods for sale, and in the background a man on a horse loaded with heavy packs, a gentleman on horseback leaning down to converse with two women, and a group of women gathered round a wheelbarrow, looking at its contents. In the background to the right, a drama is being enacted on a small stage hung with banners.
