Highway Cottages in the last century Highway Cottages 1998
The old picture was taken in the 1930s - the modern picture was taken in September 2000. While the basic scene is little different, there are a few changes:-
  • The road has been surfaced.
  • White lines have been painted.
  • Quite a few more trees have grown up.
  • Unusually the telephone pole has been taken down.
  • There has been an extension added to the right of 1 Park Lane (just visible to the right of the white end wall).
The driver of the Austin lorry in the old picture was Gilbert Clark who can still remember having his photograph taken.
