Wells, Somerset.
Mr Penny is a snail collector. We see him gathering snails in the Mendip Hills countryside. He puts them in a tin and carries them to a local pub restaurant. The pub is the Miner's Arms. Landlord takes out a handful of snails and looks at them with appreciation. In the pub's kitchen the snails are cooked in salted water then in a broth.
