A view from just off the Fullabrook Road - you can see Shutes and and Town Estates Farms. The thatched house to the right of Shutes is where Vera Smale was brought up.The Square - date unknown - but the vehicle is a Model T Ford bread van... scooters were around then!!Rush hour at Pulland Bridge.
The Square in 1928. Rose Cottage on the right was the Police Station. A.I. Roach was Toni Buchan's grandfather.
Barton Farm - known as The Old Manor House.

West Down School - date unknown.
Probably the Patronal Festival at St Calixtus was once Holy Trinity and the Patronal day would be in June.Sunday School on the Vicarage lawn - possibly June 1909.Was this the George VI Coronation? - can anyone identify those present?

With thanks to Toni Buchan
