More about this scene

The war memorial remembers those killed in both the First and Second World Wars. It is also interesting to recall that there was a prisoner of war camp in the village; it was in the grounds of Marbury Hall, which was demolished in the 1960s. Just behind the memorial the flat area of ground is a bowling green, with today a fine new clubhouse just beyond.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them."- Laurence Binyon, For The Fallen

I and my brothers grew up in the paper shop on the left of this picture and a car parked outside was a rarity. My memory tells me this one belonged to the photographer who took the picture.
