More about this scene

This was a very rural thoroughfare until after the Second World War. The small boy's sailor suit was typical of the Edwardian period; as were the white skirts, worn only a couple of inches from the surface of the dirt road. There is now suburban infill on both sides of the lane.

Sparked a Memory for you?

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

By the 1900's the Benton family owned the Post Office, a cycle shop and were the local Blacksmiths. Would like some information on whether the Plough and the surrounding area is still there.
