More about this scene

This old view of St Osyths Lane includes the beautiful 14th-century spire of St Peter's Church in the distance, beyond the market place. Of the long terrace of 17th-century cottages on the right, only the former Anchor Inn remains, dated 1637 and now a private house. The rest have been replaced by the modern back wall of a stone clad Co-op supermarket. The cottages are clearly in a dilapidated condition in this 1950 view, but their loss is surely to be regretted.

Sparked a Memory for you?

I remember attending this school and have a school photograph of all pupils. I know the school is not there anymore, but cannot find any information relating to this school, does anyone know of it?
I remember we lived in Peter Street, where I first learned to ride a bike, my elder sister giving me a push at the top of the hill...stopping was the problem! Our house was on the right side going down the hill. Across the road were open fields where we would fossick for Roman pottery shards with my father. At the top of the street there was a conker tree which entertained my friends and I for hours. Our family moved to Australia and I remembered other families were emigrating too.
