The Manor House Fairseat - old postcard

Found this old postcard on Ebay, I drive this road often but I think a tree may be growing in the church yard which blocks the view of the house from here now.

War Memorial in Stansted postcard, circa 1923.

New postcard of the War Memorial in Stansted found on Ebay. It said that it is circa 1923. The bank opposite has certainly changed a bit, I don't think that three legged tree is there any more.

Snowed in!

On the evening of 11th March 2013 much snow fell on the Fairseat and Stansted area, with high winds making the drifts the largest I've seen in my 11 years here. Our lane was so full of snow even the snow plough could not get down it as there was nowhere for the snow to be pushed to, so a digger had to come and labouriously remove the snow by dumping it wherever it could. Luckily I managed to photograph some of it before the digger arrived. Enjoy the photos.
