More about this scene

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.

My grandfather, Reginal Pearce, and his wife Edith took over the tenancy from him. My father Peter and Uncle Terry grew up at the Red Lion. When it closed my Grandfather and Grandmother moved to the Generous Britain where they were publicans until their retirement. They then retired to the cottage next door. I have lovely memories.
Although I did not live there, my father's great grandmother Ann Puttergill lived for about sixty of her eighty years there.
