Little Sutton In 1950s And 1960s

This photograph is taken from the spot where the Job Centre now stands, or the car park just down the hill.
If one needed refreshments, the Tea Cosy Cafe was a little further down the street. All the buildings on the right-hand side were soon to be demolished and the site redeveloped by Boots.
This photograph appears to show a quiet village where nothing much happens apart from an amble down to the post office to buy a few stamps.
The summit at 1083 feet is at the head of West Down at the southern point of Cleeve Common.
This pretty village was the scene of a major disaster in 1952 when the East and West Lyn rivers, swollen by torrential rain, cascaded down demolishing all in their path.
The High Street becomes Fore Street as it heads down towards the river Exe. The street today is a mass of shops and attractive buildings, none more so than Tuckers Hall.
Later, they fell victim both to progress and anti-pollution legislation, and were replaced by gas-fired and electric kilns.The last of the bottle kilns to be used commercially closed down in 1967
the Petworth to Guildford main road.The church of St John Baptist was rebuilt in 1877; it has a strange-looking font dated 1662.The Half Moon is a 16th-century inn.The Swan Inn can be seen down

The Lady Chapel became ruinous in the 16th century and was pulled down.
The landscape here is a fine example of the continuing denudation of the Cotswold Scarp; it is of great interest to geologists, as the outlying peaks and downs were once connected to the
