More about this scene

Here we see an image of disappearing Britain: the village pond, many of which have been removed since the time of this photograph, with a backdrop of cottages. These date from different periods, and those on the right show successive and ever lower extensions. Original Georgian and Victorian sash windows help the buildings to retain their individual character - this was before the introduction of UPVc.

Looking back from this photo is the site of the original Jones Balers factory. I have many fond memories of my early working life with a wonderful bunch of collegues at the factory. I often visited Herbie Ellis' shop which later was to be in one of the houses in this pond photo, also the Red Lion pub nearby. David Jones (Young Dai)
