The left hand picture was
taken in 1915 when the building was very new and the modern picture
was taken in April
1999. There are quite a few changes:-
-
The Prince of Wales (behind the fir
tree in the modern picture) is no longer a public house. It
became a private residence, named “The Old Malthouse”,
in 1998.
-
The field has become the site of eleven
bungalows built between 1960 and 1962. The modern picture is taken
from our back garden, which is where the two workers are standing
in the old picture.
-
St.Joseph’s Church (on the right)
has been demolished (1967).
-
The thatched barn (see below for 1981
demolition pictures) and the well (looks like a bandstand)
have also gone.
