More about this scene
Once known as Fyfield Street, or just The Street, this end of the village now takes its name from The Queen's Head pub. The building level with the pushchair (just visible in the middle of the road) is the old schoolhouse. The school - founded by Dr Anthony Walker in 1687 - has since relocated to new premises.

Some people remember my mum not only as a Dinner Lady but because her Yorkshire ...see more
My mother and some of her family were sent/lived in Fyfield Ongar for a short time during the Second World War. They moved there from West Ham in London. Her only memory of where she lived is that it was a large house with swords arranged high up on the walls. Her only other memory is of a pub with the word 'Black' in it - we've located that!
