Photo of Nailsworth, 1900

More about this scene

Here Nailsworth is seen from the 'W', the zigzag hill road linking it to Box village. By 1900 the 'Pepperpot Church' has been replaced by St George's as we know it today. Apart from fairly extensive modern building development, which has considerably altered this aspect of the town, the other point of interest in the picture lies in the tin church on the left, erected in the vicarage grounds to serve the parish while St George's was under construction. The tin church was subsequently removed.

Sparked a Memory for you?

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

I spent most of my childhood in Newmarket, playing in the wood and on Bunting Hill shown in the photo with the old Quarry. Every year the hill would be set fire, the fire being lit at the top to burn slowly down, this was to encourage new grass to grow to feed goats that grazed there in the summer months.
