More about this scene
The Mini van heralds the swinging 60s. Next to the post office, Snow's the butchers were well-known for their Piggy Porker sausages - indeed, they used to advertise them on the side of their delivery-van.

My future husband says he only married me because my father had petrol pumps and he could get cheap petrol. As a child we lived with my granadparents Lilian and Frank Mansfield up Bakers Lane.

My great-great-great-grandmother was Rose Baker, daughter of Amos Baker and Charlotte Broom, I have a photo of them all standing outside Mill Cottage and a photo of workers outside the Mill, one of which I believe is Amos.
