Photo of Rockingham, The Village c.1960

More about this scene

This photograph was taken about five years after R353020 (pages 62-63) and further down the hill towards the centre of Rockingham. The large gabled house on the left of the street, with the telephone box outside, is the village shop and post office, both of which have since closed. Further down the hill is the Sondes Arms public house and the old market cross. The latter has a memorial and inscription to a member of the Watson family, which was set on top of the shaft in 1894.

Sparked a Memory for you?

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

One of my earliest memories is being driven around the farm here in my father's Land Rover. He was farm manager here until 1964 when we moved to Suffolk.
