The gable end of the house on the left is 39 Mill Lane and Back St starts at the junction over the hill and not visible here. My father built the house about 1935 when he was 21 years old. I grew up there until 1955 when it was sold and we moved from Clophill for a short time. We returned... [more]

This is where I live, it is no longer a village post office. It was built in 1680, and we are returning it to a residential property.

My brother Paul spent many happy days here but didn't realise it at the time. He was the best brother anyone could have, for the last 16yrs he has been disabled with MS always a smile never complaining. This is my tribute to him my lovely brave brother.

I used to sit and wait for the Number 11 bus, if I remember correctly on the bench facing the post office, and I am ashamed to say I never really took in the names on the war memorial or realized what they had done for us all. I now live in Holland and the next time I am in Stopsley... [more]

I used to live in Stopsley with my family. We lived in Swiftsgreen Road. I have just been back but it has not changed a great deal, the village is larger and we did not have time to have a walk round but it was nice to see where we had lived. I was named Johnstone in those days and we... [more]

My abiding memory of Ampthill is when I used to go to the Saturday pictures with my cousins and the fire engine would be called out. The only problem was the siren that called them out was the old wartime air-raid siren. What a noise !!! I lived in Maulden but often visited Ampthill. ... [more]

Extracts From Barton-Le-Clay & Bedfordshire books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Barton-Le-Clay, inspired by Frith photos.
East of Sandy, the small village of Sutton is distinguished by its narrow medieval pack-horse bridge which took pedlars and carriers' pack ponies dry-shod past the ford, which is still in use today. There are cutwaters on the other side of the bridge with refuges; the cutwaters, like the bows of ships in shape, always face upstream. The stream eventually feeds into the Ivel.... [more]

Here the photographer looks west from the Town Hall, and we can see the extensive encroachment onto the market place. Its Royal charter was confirmed as long ago as 1227. All the central buildings occupy part of the original market place, which was bounded by the buildings at the far right and left. In the distance is the parish church. On... [more]

In the far distance is the old Harpur School, now the Town Hall. It was supplemented by this fine Tudor-style battlemented building when the Harpur Trust built the Modern School, or the Harpur Schools, in the 1830s; the building was designed by the renowned local architect John Wing, whose son was a pupil, but was completed by John Blore. No longer a school, it was preserved as a frontage to a shopping centre. The... [more]
