More about this scene
Here we see a typical scene to be found in rural Essex. The bungalow on the left serves as a shop, and the vehicle outside belonged to Fred Derby & Sons. Close by, almost hidden by the trees, are pleasant cottages.

This was of course taken long before Burnt House Cottage was built. This was where my grandmother Ruth Hare lived. The cottage is now to the right of the road. In the background are accommodation blocks at Carver Barracks (Debden Aerodrome). Burnt House Farm is to the left of the picture where the Boutwood family lived in the 70's.
