More about this scene

The openness of the village is readily apparent in this photograph: it ranges along a brook, criss-crossed by modest Urban District Council railed footbridges. Regrettably, the main 19th-century two-storey buildings fail to enhance the scene to a degree that can be called picturesque.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

At 3 p.m. on Saturday 10th July 1965 I married Tony. Our marriage was conducted by Thomas Stanley Archer (Curator) of St Michael's Church. At the time I was living in The Cottages, Littlethorpe (now demolished) but had previously lived on Narborough Road, Cosby. Tony and I have a daughter and a son. We celebrate our 45th wedding aniversary this year - 2010.
