More about this scene
One hopes that the Express parcel service fared better than the shop's window advertising, which suffers from a number of missing letters! Down by the crossroads is the Six Bells public house, while to the left, the church is one of only two in England dedicated to Saint Vigor.

A Selection of Memories from Fulbourn
For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our website to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was, prompted by the photographs in our archive. Here are some from Fulbourn
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.
