The photograph below was taken in September 1981.
It was kindly donated by Peter Jennions. Where were you when it was taken?
(I know what I must have been doing - there are nappies on the line!)
The view is from the north of the village,
looking south. The road in the bottom left hand corner is Reading Road. Gregory
House is just to the right of and below the centre of the picture. St Johns
Church, The White Hart and Crossways car park are all visible in the top left
hand quadrant. At the centre of the picture, part of Elms Road leads upwards
towards its junction (no roundabout then) with the A30 and Station Road.
The railway station, backed by the cocoa mill, is
at the top centre of the picture, while the large white object on the right is
the Old Foundry, then operating as a refrigerated warehouse.
The strange markings in the field next to Wellworths, I am reliably
informed by Reg Janes, are the product of a series of jumps for exercising
horses.
