More about this scene

This view shows the great width of the street running north to the Green and the church. On the left is the 16th-century Old House Country Club, now Chimney's Restaurant; in the 1830s John Churchyard lived here - he started the horse-hair weaving industry in Melford. Next is the 1830s brick Foundry House, where Ward & Silver's iron foundry was established in the 1840s. Many of their cast-iron grave markers can be seen in the churchyard.

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

I vaguely remember visiting the corner shop seventy years ago. Not sure if the owners were relatives or just friends of my grandparents. If anyone knows who lived there and operated the shop in the 1940s the information would be appreciated. David, in Napa, California
