Willaston, The Green c.1950

More about this scene

The Green has always been a focus for village life, and has several fine old buildings surrounding it. The posts have now gone, but there is still a bench; and the copper beech tree, just visible on the left, is now a fine, mature specimen that shades much of the Green. The building with the two cars parked outside is The Nag's Head (formerly The White Lion), which dates from the first part of the 1700s.

The Green Lantern

This was owned by a Mother and Daughter; the daughter is still alive and lives next to my sister on Wallcroft, off Hadlow Road. I remember a cafe as you walked in right in front of the door, and on the right was a little tuck shop where you could get sweets. It was like going back the 18th century. I cannot remember their names, I will have to call my sister to ask her. Wonderful times. My father and myself and my sisters were all born in Willaston. My father was John Thomas Sumner.
