Cambridgeshire memories
Bott5isham Village College
I attended the college from 1959 to 1963, it really was a wonderful time and set me up well for life.
Pub Crown And Thistle Just Out of View
I moved into the Crownd and Thistle about 1941 aged 4 and I left village in 1960. Arthur Benstead was landlord for many years. He and Muriel his wife retired just across the road to a house left by Mr Knowles the postman. The Pattens lived in the thatched cottage on the right. Not much has changed, just a few infillings but just past the conifer was a stackyard and threshing engine yard.
The Shop
The white building on the right hand side of the photo was the local shop run by a Mr and Mrs Rodwell. My mother (Rose) worked there in the 1950's and my father (Eric) used land at the rear of the premises as a small market garden.
I still have a book which my mother bought in the shop for my 6th birthday, 58 years ago now.
War Memorial
The triangle of grass towards the right side is the site of the war memorial. My father was the ground keeper for the council and part of his job was to keep this area tidy and he took a great pride in doing it.
Opposite (out of sight on the left) is the area known as the conker trees. This was a favourite place for local kids to go searching for beautiful shiny conkers.
Ludlow Lane
The farmhouse on the left of the picture was the home of the Stalley family and later became a hairdressers as well.
On the bend in the road there used to be a blacksmith, I loved to go there and watch Mr Webb at work.
St Vigors Church
I was married in this church in September 1968 by Revd. A B Swallow.
The Boy on The Bike is me
The boy on the bike is me (Eric Brigham), I lived at the post office with my parents who owned it (from memory) from 1967 to 1976. I was five years old in this picture. My father Gordon Brigham sold this postcard and others of the village. These were happy years for all of my family, such a nice village and people.
