This photograph shows the thatched house of Mr and Mrs Hansford on the right, on the opposite side of the road to the village stores owned by Roy and Ruth Wells. In the centre of the picture, in the background, are the village almshouses. At the time this phograph was taken I was aged 4 and lived next door to Mr and Mrs Hansford with my parents Jack and Doris Howard and my sister Jeanette.

This shows the notorious bend as you enter the village from the south, which is still almost the same today, made worse by the increase in traffic. The white house right on th bend was occupied by Mr. Pike who lived to be over 100.

I have good memories of the white thatched house in the picture.  I was evacuated with my Mother during the latter part of the War to this house which at the front was the local sweetshop and it was run by Tilly Annals and her husband Fred. The house which is partly shown was owned by Tilly Annals' two sisters and four brothers who kept cows in the sheds behind the farmhouse.   I did go to the village school for a few months when my Mother decided that we had to go back to London.  Many years later my husband and I visited the Annals and stayed at the white thatched house.   I have many happy memories of Fred and Tilly Annals and my wartime stay.
