Mom lived in Baynards...1930-40's
Mom went to the country to live during the war. She lived in a big field - the house and land were let by the Fulton Brick Works, I believe that was the name. I have about 5 pictures of her home with my Auntie Connie.

Many hours were spent playing on the hills around this area. In the centre of the picture is a mound, we called it the Tump, it was the excavation from the cutting and it was made into a feature with three seats or benches for walkers to enjoy a rest and admire the views over Herefordshire.
