Photo of Cosby, The Brook c.1965

More about this scene

The brook here somehow appears to be little cared for, with its chipped concrete posts arrayed along weedy banks. To the right of the photograph is a row of uninteresting 19th/20th-century houses; to the left, and of an earlier era, is a three-story, three-bay brick farmhouse, so common in Leicestershire villages. The overall scene is not enhanced by telephone wires and a rather nasty bus shelter.

Sparked a Memory for you?

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

At 3 p.m. on Saturday 10th July 1965 I married Tony. Our marriage was conducted by Thomas Stanley Archer (Curator) of St Michael's Church. At the time I was living in The Cottages, Littlethorpe (now demolished) but had previously lived on Narborough Road, Cosby. Tony and I have a daughter and a son. We celebrate our 45th wedding aniversary this year - 2010.
