More about this scene
It would be hard to find such a peaceful rural scene as this amongst the suburbs of present-day Bournemouth. The rough and traffic-free road shows how very busy our world has become in less than a century.

I was born croydon 1970. My birth mother unfortunately was killed by a van mounting the pavement the junction tedder road in 1974. She used to work in pubs in croydon. Just wondering if anyone remembers her ? She was named sally barber or Hampson.
Court Lees - Does that name ring any bells? All the boys, every Sunday, came down a long lane on 'Shanks Ponies' and went to church in the village. Mr Fish was the headmaster around late forties early fifties; a very nice man but it deteriorated when he left around 1953.
There is no Langham Road in South Godstone - I live in the same road as illustrated. It is LAGHAM Road. - no 'n' in it.
