More about this scene
This view was taken from the war memorial. The cottages to the right were at this time home and shop to H Woolley, a saddler, as they had been since around 1900. The cottages date from the 16th century, and are probably of the same age as the earliest known parish register of 1596. Notice the old Whieldon's green bus parked outside.

I remember going on a school trip to Heathrow Airport and losing my souvenir cast metal model plane on the coach/bus. I cried so much that my mum had to smack my legs to shock me into stopping. That was in what was being used as a car park, opposite the school. There were huge reels of cabling ...see more
