More about this scene

This last view of St Mary's Church gives a clearer impression of the relatively unrestored tower stonework. The tower contains a bell cast in the local bell foundries in 1665; the location of these foundries is commemorated in the name Bell Banks Road, a road to the south that runs from Market Street to the ponds. Out to the left is the Vicarage Field shopping mall, while beyond the silver birch is the church hall extension opened in 1985.

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

Fond memories of my time spent with my friends at Oakland's riding school in the late 1960's and early 1970's. Does anyone have any photos of it at that time? Would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Nikki x
