More about this scene

The River Thames curves eastward north of the village and then converges towards Church Street, some of whose gardens have a water frontage. In this view, looking west along the millstream cut towards the Thames in the distance, the village gardens are on the left; nowadays the trees are less dense, so the houses can be seen. On the right are two footbridges across weirs, the bridges now rebuilt as utilitarian ones with concrete decks and steel railings. River traffic, of course, has since 1807 used the Culham Cut, seen in view A15032.

The Village Of Fond Childhood Memories (1955 )

I would have been three years old back then, living, as we did, at 77 High Street with my grandparents (the Dentons). Harry (my grandfather) used to keep bees and was regularly praised for his beautiful floral front garden. I, my brother (Desmond) and our parents later moved to Frilsham Street. The village is still my most favourite place in the entire world as it encapsulates ...see more

Sutton Courtenay, High Street C1955

When my family moved to Sutton Courtenay in the 1960s this was the only shop left in the old part of the village. It was a fabulous place with big glass jars of sweets behind the counter, I used to visit here as soon as I received my pocket money! It was run by the Mussells, I think (pronounced 'Muzz-ells'). My sister got a job there on Saturdays. Unfortunately it eventually closed in the early 1980s.
