My dad had a postcard of this scene which he gave to me and I in turn gave a copy of to the Cambs Collection. His parents lived at Ivy Cottage Church Street opposite the church WW2 and 50's - Harry and Emma (nee Hayden) Welsh.

Looking at the original photo you cannot read the white sign. The larger sign is partly visible with a name starting: H.W.Ch... and under that the start of the word ENG... probably "engineer" or "engineering"

Does anyone know what the sign is for at the right of
the picture? Just after the metal railings. I can make out H.W....!

This is where One Stop now stands and these buildings burnt down.

Yes I remember the Post Office very well. My brother and I had to go each week and spend sixpence of our pocket money on a savings stamp. We lived further along at the Baker.

This is the Bakery where my Brother and I grew up with my parents Joan & Frank Oliver. The name S. Oliver, Corn Chandler, over the shop is my Grandfather Sayers Oliver. Sayers & Emily built the house and lived there prior to us living there

This is from a glass plate. Based on the other glass plates in the collection I'd guess this is between 1910 and 1915.

I think the old thatched house was James Read's farmhouse until 1877, then occupied by his daughter Alice and her husband James Wayman. Alice died 1923 aged 90. Can anyone confirm ?
