More about this scene

The cottages and mature trees are typical of Bolton-by-Bowland. This beautiful village, once famous for its skilled bowmen, stands on the edge of Bowland Forest. The school, built of local limestone, replaced a school which had stood on the Green since 1620. This village green was also the site of the court house. Hatters, shoemakers and corn millers, along with stonemasons, joiners and blacksmiths, kept the village well supplied in the 19th century.

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I lived with Mum, Dad and brother Richard here for around 10 years from 10 yrs to 20 yrs old. I went to Riversmead School in Grindleton. Some very happy times in this beautiful place are in my memory. It's great to find this photo on line. I live in Australia now but will eventually come for a memory visit.
