More about this scene

Woodbury's village green is rarely as empty of parked cars as it was in this day in the 1960s. On the left are the Church Rooms, and just beyond is the then village shop, an adjunct to a residential cottage.

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

As I recall, the 2nd house on the left was a sweet shop run by two old ladies. You were served over a half door, so you didn't need to enter the shop. I walked, with my elder brother, to this shop the day sugar rationing ended. I could not understand how we could get sweets without our ration books. I was afraid we would get arrested!
