Gweek, The Post Office And Village c.1960

Photo ref: G73021

this is labelled redruth road - but as far as i have always known it was Chapel hill for obvious reason the chapel was midway up the hill

this looks like a view from my old house - Meadow Lea , when my parents brought on chicken and turkeys for my grand uncle - Tom mitchell at mellanoweth in the village - in the foreground is the house owned i believe by mr hayward of the pickles fame

In the background beside the chapel was the house i grew up in,called, Meadow Lea which obviously had a large meadow as the main area in front of the bungalow before my mother sold a plot of land for a bungalow below ( which was not built in this photo ) lots has changed in the years since then but lots of is still as was albeit modernised - such as post office row which my great grandfather built many moons ago

This bridge shop for many years was run by my great uncle Edward Moyle who lived in Sunnyside, Gweek.
