More about this scene

This deceptively simple photograph captures the spirit of Moore in 1955: the road curving out of the village; the essential Post Office; and an absence of menfolk, who were probably hard at work on the farms.

I recently discovered during the 1911 census; my grandmother, Elizabeth Lennon Wear, was living & working at the Post Office in Moore. She was twenty three & was a postal telegraph clerk. Elizabeth had travelled from Liverpool to take up this position but by 1914 she had returned to Liverpool & had married. I could not help but think what a lovely area for her to have lived in, even for such a short time, after being born & brought up in a very suburban area.
