More about this scene

The timber cottage on the left is Poplar Cottage, dating from the 1600s. It had a room on the ground floor that was traditionally a 'birth chamber'. The idea was that after its birth, when leaving the house, the newborn child would have to be carried upstairs - there is an old saying that in order to rise in the world you should first go up some stairs.

Many happy years playing in Grange Wood and surrounding fields and walking through the fields up to Acton Bridge. Picnics with jam butties and water. Bike rides up to Cuddington and Hartford. Long summer holidays when the tar melted on the roads and scraping the top of my big toes with those rubber flipflops they used to sell in Woolies. McNeals sweet shop at the bottom of Forest Street and the old Co-op with really high counters. It's so sad how things are now
