More about this scene

Cow Lane has changed in recent years, with infill building visible to the left of the house in the centre of this picture. The road has been repaved and kerbed with a pavement on each side - an indication of how busy this thoroughfare has become.

Sparked a Memory for you?

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

The boy on the bike is me (Eric Brigham), I lived at the post office with my parents who owned it (from memory) from 1967 to 1976. I was five years old in this picture. My father Gordon Brigham sold this postcard and others of the village. These were happy years for all of my family, such a nice village and people.
I was married in this church in September 1968 by Revd. A B Swallow.
The farmhouse on the left of the picture was the home of the Stalley family and later became a hairdressers as well. On the bend in the road there used to be a blacksmith, I loved to go there and watch Mr Webb at work.
The triangle of grass towards the right side is the site of the war memorial. My father was the ground keeper for the council and part of his job was to keep this area tidy and he took a great pride in doing it. Opposite (out of sight on the left) is the area known as the conker trees. This was a favourite place for local kids to go searching for beautiful shiny conkers.
