More about this scene
No one is certain about the origin of this strange name, except that it has nothing to do with Enid Blyton. The Urban District Council laid out the field as a recreation ground and children's play area in 1914. The boy on the swing is Norman Pearson, watched by his mother; Norman still runs a cycle shop in the High Street. Mount Noddy Cottage, nestling in the trees, was demolished in the 1950s.
