Not The Ford...

A Memory of Edlesborough.

Photograph number 7 of 9 is labelled as The Ford. It was in fact Middle Path which ran from Brook Street in Edlesborough up to Harling Road, Eaton Bray. I used to go fishing for tiddlers there and had fallen in on more than one occasion. I went to see the bridge a couple of years ago and the stream is no longer clear with water weed but very muddy and thoroughly uninviting. I wonder what has happened. I did see that the damson plum trees have nearly all disappeared too. Many a time spent picking fruit for Mum to make jam with.

Many thanks for this information - I have passed it to our archivist - Editor
