More about this scene
The cottages on the right were almshouses. They are gone now. The white house just past them is known as the Penthouse - a name connected with the fact that the village pound (or 'pent') for stray cattle once stood here. In the street, the nanny is pushing a pram of an unusual penny-farthing design.

This is not a memory as such, however I have been researching my husband's family tree. When speaking to elderly family members I have found that his grandmother's family, the Thorogoods, come from Shalford. I would like to know if there are any Thorogoods still in Shalford. We can't wait to find out more about your village and discover my husband's roots.
My parents had a weekend cottage at Rotten End in the 1950s, and I remember walking a footpath to Shalford regularly. Can anybody tell me if this footpath still exists, or anything about it at all? many thanks Ros Stayne
