More about this scene

The bicycle was still a very important mode of transport when this photograph was taken. The brick-built buildings look as if they will last for another century at least. However, the huge Allied Flour Mill now stands on the site and very little of this scene remains.

My Grandfather, John William Linge, and my Great-Grandfather, John Linge, lived at Wilson's New Cottage, Althorne in 1881. I have no idea where this cottage was situated and wonder whether anyone could help in locating it, please.
I used to walk here to buy sweets as a child... the shop looked just the same as the photo. In those days it was also the village post-office.
I moved into these cottages with my family in 1935 and my parents were there until 1959. Originally it was a barn hence the name 'Barn Row' and was converted into cottages in 1836 as marked in the brickwork on the other side of the cottages. All the time my parents lived there, there was no sewerage and only a stand tap in the middle yard to serve all four cottages. But times have changed and the village has been renovated and one or two new houses have been built.
