More about this scene

This is the A631, although it does not look like an A-class road. The telephone box has gone, and so have the telegraph poles and wires. The post office has moved, and is no longer in the far distance on the right of the road. The annexe sideways to the road has gone, and the house standing back from the road has been replaced by a bungalow. One of the two houses on the right, Highfield View, now has a porch. The wartime airfield was over to the left.

A Selection of Memories from Ludford

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our website to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was, prompted by the photographs in our archive. Here are some from Ludford

Sparked a Memory for you?

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

The photograph of the High Street with the Black Horse Inn Sign in the foreground reminded me that one of my ancestors, Sims Briggs, was the landlord of the inn according to the 1881 Census. Some of the other members are interned in the churchyard including my 2x Great Grandmother Susannah Briggs, wife of John who also died in Ludford but I have no knowledge of his resting place. I recently visited the village and was impressed by the way the churchyard is kept.
