I was born in 1949 and grew up on Victoria Terrace. The picture of Victoria Terrace has special meaning to me, upon closer inspection I noticed my mum scrubbing our front door step, this she did daily along with the strip of pavement in front of our door. I lived in village until I married in 1969. How the old place has changed over the years, I remember walking through the fields to school, in their place now are bungalows and houses.
The railway line ran in front of our house and the old station house was a good place to meet friends until it became unsafe and demolished. My grandad worked in the saw mills the buildings of which are just visible in the photo. These were happy times and I could go on and on about the changes but I just dont have the space.
