More about this scene
This scene has changed little in the past 50 years, apart from the Royal Oak (left) losing its hanging sign and side entrance in the 1980s after a couple of lorries demolished the porch! The pub garden has extended out to the side road, and a petanque pitch has appeared where the tree stood behind the railings, on the left.

We scattered some of my father's ashes here in March 2013. He was Arthur Benjamin Wyldbore, b 1921. His family was from Castor and Ailsworth and though he was born in London in 1921, he spent a lot of time with his grandparents and aunts and uncles in Castor and Peterborough. They were Wyldbores, Parkers, Carters, Browns.
Milton Ferry Bridge is still a very lovely place, over the River Nene.
