New War Memorial Postcard recently found. Nice view across the very open grassed grounds of Court Lodge, where there is now a fruit tree orchard.

The Forge, Tumblefield Lane, Stansted. The printed 1/2d on stamp area on back dates this to between 1894-1918, another source narrows it down to between 1900s/10s

. Dick Hogbin of Fairseat and Stansted Historical society kindly provided me with an aerial shot to show where this building was (north of the Footpath). I suppose once tractors arrived, the forge got less and less work and eventually gave up business.

Turnpike by Vigo Inn crossroads

Information from an old book. This toll-house pre-dates the bungalow on the corner of Vigo Road/A227.

MIllers Farm / Tower Grange / Tower Folly

 

Here is some information I found in an old book, and stupidly I've forgotten to take a note of what book it was in.

Stansted Church, circa 1900

 

An old photo of Stansted Church, featuring on a postcard and dated approximately 1900. Such a pretty spire shape. 

Fire at Ridley Court Barn, and small image of the handsome Ridley Court House

 When out walking I always admire the fine looking old house next to the Church at Ridley. It looks fascinating, I'd love to have a look around it! I haven't found out much about it at all, but did find this press photo from when one of the barns burnt down in 1938. I also found a very small image of the house.
