WHEN I WAS A KID THIS WAS THE SITE OF A FARM IN THE 1940s ( I think it belonged to farmer Copley).  THE BIG HOUSE IN THE BACKGROUND BELONGED TO DR MARJERY.  THE HOUSE IS STILL THERE BUT THE SURGERY WAS KNOCKED DOWN, AND WAS RESITED NEXT TO ST THOMAS' CHURCH.

RE: RE: Before They Were Built

The farm was owned by the Cressey family, hence the name of the corner, Cressey's Corner.
