1940s local pictures at Historic England - St Marys, Stansted

I also research another area I'm very fond of, where my Grandfather lived near Banbury. Whilst doing that, I found these lovely photos from the 40s of Fairseat and Stansted. I'm going to post them individually, here are the ones of the church.

Hodsall Street - Green Man, old postcard

I will hopefully get a better copy of this sometime, without the over mark. the pub looks very different now, with its white rendering on the walls.

The Moat, Wrotham Heath

A bit further afield, but a great local photo from 'ye olden times'. I give you.... The Moat. It would be nice to still have a very local swimming pool! And dancing on a Saturday Night!
