Whitewashed houses and pantiled roofs characterise this photograph of the deserted Main Street of Green Hammerton, a small village in the Vale of York and on Roman Dere Street, just off the main A59 Harrogate
Angmering-on-Sea is one of those suburbs that blossomed along the south coast between the wars, partly as holiday homes, and partly as homes for London commuters.
At No 72 High Street, which was owned by the family building firm of Croad, there is a small hole in the quarter-inch-thick pane of the bay window facing
north.
This last name was a legacy of Charles Dickens, who made the 18th-century
weatherboarded house over the gate the home of church organist John Jasper in The Mystery of Edwin Drood.
Dating from the 1500s (and
possibly earlier), the half-
timbered building on the left
fronting both the High Street
and Hickmans Lane has had a
chequered history.
We are standing almost at the corner of the High Street, with the old rectory (home of the famous authoress Dorothy Sayers) hidden behind the wall on the right.
