Before school
Mr & Mrs Potter managed Bon March shop and they had two young boys, Robert and Edmond. My mum, Edna Griffiths, helped to look after the children and, being pre-school age, I used to go along with her. Mrs Potter used to bring us pasties from Jones' Bakery (where the Chinese takeaway is now).
On the way home we used to collect paraffin from Dowlings (where Tom Bounds is now) and sweets from Kate Teagle in Church Street (where Jane's sewing is now).
How I would love to be able to squeeze into the photo and have a nostalgic look around. Happy days.

Research - 1700s
I am looking for information about Sarnesfield in the 1700s and about the court house. Also, as I live in Canada and do not know much about the British law system, I would need to know how the courts operated in those years. What I need to know is about the size of the town, prominent citizens, marketplace and anything else you could tell me about Sarnesfield. Or where I could obtain this information.
This is for a story I am writing and Sarnesfield is the place the characters in my story lived in the 1700s.
Thank you for any help you can give me.

Mrs Price's tuck shop
I lived at Lucton in the late 1960s and remember buying sweets from the shop.
I vaguely remember a young girl staying there who we played with in the meadow. The Buttons Sandra mentions are probably the BUFTONS.

Extracts From Whitney & Herefordshire books
The Boat Inn, as its name suggests, sits right on the bank of the River Wye. Perhaps its name implies that there
was once a ferry crossing here long ago. In 1802, however, a wooden toll bridge was built nearby which is still in
regular use today.

Today this view hasn’t changed at all. Despite increases in population and the subsequent rise in road traffic,
Herefordshire still manages to retain an aura of peacefulness and serenity, exemplified in this photograph.

The interior of St Peter and St Paul’s church is much the same, although sadly, in my opinion, the ‘God Is Love’
script has been painted out. Notice, also, the beautifully carved pulpit.
