'The Swan' with the 'Simonds'
hop-leaf sign; note the second front door, now bricked up |
 |
The old Post Office, Blacksmith's, and
Birch House in the distance with its magnificent Elm trees, long
since fallen victim to the Elm Bark Beetle. |
 |
The Blacksmith's, with farm carts in front
and a Trojan van alongside. Note the row of posters on the wall.
In the background is the Post Office and the pair of old
cottages, and behind them is the detached house then known as 'Lanka
House'. |
 |
Looking south along Eversley Road, with
the farm cottages next to 'The Swan', plus 'Sunrise' in the
distance. |
 |
School Road, with 'Lanka House' and its adjoining flat on the
left and 'New Cottages' on the right, and 'The Bull' in the
distance.
Most of the windows on the end wall of 'Lanka House' have long since been
blanked-out, and only the top window remains.

 |
Emblen Crescent; note the different styles
of TV aerials. |
 |
The Bull and its outbuilding; note the
second front door, later bricked up. The lean-to extension next to
the 'Simonds' sign was completely rebuilt when the pub was totally
renovated in 2007. |
 |
The crossroads looking southwards, with the
old bus shelter in the right foreground. The terraced houses,
Nos. 2 - 24 Eversley Road, weren't completed until 1966. |
 |
Chamberlain's Farm. The photo was taken
from what is now the recreation ground, with the implement shed on
Pudding Lane to the right. |
 |
Mole Road, with Newland Farm to the right;
note the old-style 'Give Way' sign. |
