The gable end of the house on the left is 39 Mill Lane and Back St starts at the junction over the hill and not visible here. My father built the house about 1935 when he was 21 years old. I grew up there until 1955 when it was sold and we moved from Clophill for a short time. We returned... [more]

Here the photographer looks west from the Town Hall, and we can see the extensive encroachment onto the market place. Its Royal charter was confirmed as long ago as 1227. All the central buildings occupy part of the original market place, which was bounded by the buildings at the far right and left. In the distance is the parish church. On... [more]

In the far distance is the old Harpur School, now the Town Hall. It was supplemented by this fine Tudor-style battlemented building when the Harpur Trust built the Modern School, or the Harpur Schools, in the 1830s; the building was designed by the renowned local architect John Wing, whose son was a pupil, but was completed by John Blore.
