It's "I" that's going to St Ives, the rest are coming from there, so the people need to be facing away from the village. If they were all going to St Ives it would be a maths problem not a riddle. If you want it to be the viewer who is "I", then the people need to be coming towards you, not going from side to side on the panel. There are 3 St Ives in England, the best known being the one in Cornwall. I can't find any evidence as to which one is referred to in the rhyme; it could have been just because it happens to rhyme with wives. So it doesn't matter much what the village/town (if you have one) looks like as there is no distinguishing feature like a cathedral tower.
