More about this scene

The post office is on the left with its sign outside. At the time of this photograph, the population of the village had almost halved: local cottage industries had declined, and the arrival of the new mills in the larger towns meant that people flocked there to live and work.

Sparked a Memory for you?

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

I remember in the 1950s my sister Annette and I used to spend some time on a farm owned by Mr Thomas Holgate who was a friend of the family and really enjoyed those times. The farm was called Townley House and my dad used to help with the hay making. I also used to go there occasionally to do jobs when I worked for Roland Ford plasterers and slaters in the 1960s. I now live in Australia.
