Construcing the sewers on the corner of Berrycroft and Long Lane. The ground conditions here as the worst in the village, due to an underground stream running through sand. The pipe on the left is a de watering plant. This consists of a series of pipes pushed into holes bored in the ground connected to the pipe running along the ground, this is connected to a pump, hopefully removing the water before it runs into the trench (AndrewC)

The photo is taken in the school playground in front of the infant block which was where on the corner of Fen End and Earith Road. Some of the children in the background look as if they may have been have been in my year (AndrewC)
