Earlier I Think?
A Memory of Over Wallop.
I think this photo must be earlier than 1965, as the bridge at the bottom of Salisbury Lane has not yet been built across the brook - it's still a ford. If you look in the other photo dated c.1965, the bridge has by then been built. I grew up in 'Braemar', which you can see behind the thatch of 'Southview' on the far righthand edge of the picture. It was clearly still two cottages, with two chimneys, when this picture was taken. By the time my parents bought it in 1979, it had been converted into a single house, and was down to one chimney! I was a babe in arms when they moved in, and I'm 44 now. My parents still live there, and Over Wallop will always be home! So much of my childhood was spent wading up and down the brook, catching bullyheads; or playing on the cricket field; or dodging the cow pats from the dairy herd on my bike. Happy days!
Thank you for this information - date has been changed, Ed
