Red Lion pub/High Street life
My grandparents lived in Brant Broughton in the cottage next to the "Old Red Lion". I remember the farrier shoeing the horses, the cows going home to be milked at the dairy and then watching them being milked. Water came from the pump in the communal yard, the toilet was a wooden hut in the allotment with 2 holes - one for adults and a lower one for children. Not surprisingly, my grandmother was relocated to a new bungalow but when I went on a recent visit to Brant Broughton with my husband and children it looked as if it was in a time warp - it hadn't changed!

Boyhood in Navenby
This is the village where I was born and grew up. The first shop on the right was my Dad's, a Butcher. This was next to Welbourn's the baker. The other side of Tenters Lane was another Bakers, Marshall's.
The village school then was in Church Lane next to the church and the teachers were Miss True, Mr Wright, Miss Milner, and Mr Powley, the Head. I went to this school and so did my Dad. I believe Mr Powley taught him too.

Extracts From Brant Broughton & Lincolnshire books
This is locally known as the back road to Lincoln, and it looks a well surfaced village road. It seems as though the photographer was the centre of attention, as both ladies (left) are smiling for the camera. As usual in those days, the village had its shop, and Brant Broughton also had its own petrol station, just the one pump selling Esso petrol. There is some very attractive brickwork on the house facing the camera.

What a tranquil scene - one that has probably gone forever. The three young girls could be sauntering home from school with not a care in the world. They would not notice the milk churns on the stand by the side of the road (left), as they were a common sight then. There was also a blacksmith down the road where there could be horses being shod, and there are no TV aerials. The village water was still probably obtained from the roadside tap on the left.

An extract from from"Lincolnshire Living Memories".
The village lost its medieval church to bombs in World War II and has
expanded much since the War, partly due to Lincoln’s proximity and partly
to the RAF. In this view we look past the Horse and Jockey pub towards the
south of the village; the church is beyond the high tree on the left.
