More about this scene

These villagers - probably a farm labourer and his family - existed in a world completely different from that of the members of the Golf Club that was founded less than a mile away in 1897. They would not have been able to afford the fees, for one thing: they were 10s 6d entrance, and a guinea a year subscription.

I used to live in the first house on the left side of the photo 'Thurlestone Cottages 1890', in 1969 for a number of years. The house was then called 'Thatchways'. The smaller cottages attached to the main house are now missing; I believe they were destroyed many years before. We did however discover the old flagstone floor under the front lawn!!
