More about this scene

In this photograph the line of washing on the right seems to indicate a Monday morning. A loaded cart has been backed up, with its load of corn for milling, and the millpond looks to be in good order. The trap behind, with bowler-hatted driver, belonged to C Evans.

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

This is May Cottages and the home of my gt.grandparents James and Jane Childs.  James was a shepherd on the Adhust Estate for John Bonham Carter and Jane looked after the sick and the poor here for 36 years.  She also raised 6 of her own children including my grandfather William Childs.
