More about this scene

This view of the parish church is from the north-west. The build- ing on the right is the Midland Bank; between it and the church- yard is a narrow passage, now called Church Lane, leading to the south door of the church. The churchyard was full by the 1870s, so additional cemetery space was bought and chapels erected in Brooklands Lane in 1876. There are several interesting monuments in the churchyard; some of them remain from the earlier church, when they would have been inside the building. Among these is the vault, surrounded by railings, containing the remains of the Duchess of York, buried in 1820.

Queens Road...

This scene of Queens Road brings back many many memories for me. First of all, when very young and at the early months of WW2, probably in the late Autumn with falling light in the after school hours. Somehow I had come across or discovered the quite elegant shops there all on one side that one would frequent when being taken to the Odeon cinema seen further up, and if one lived in Oatlands Park by way of Oatlands ...see more
