More about this scene

This fine street is part of a local conservation area. It used to be called Canhold Lane. On the left, No 5, the house with the centre gable and timber frame, is 16th-century. A local map of 1543 records its original jettied gable. Nos 7 and 9 were once part of a large house; the left-hand part dates from the 18th century.

I am trying to find some photographs and/or information re the dairy manager's house in Shurnhold, I believe it was a Co-Op dairy and that the house was not only the manager's accommodation but also partly a shop. Above the main entrance (front door) is the date 1886, although I believe that the original part of the building is older. Any information or photos at all would be gratefully received, thanks in advance.
