Jane,
I've watched your website grow with great interest and feel I may have a
few pictures to contribute.
I
was brought up in the village in the sixties, went to the village school
when it was in school lane and eventually left in 1985 and have lived in
Maidstone, Kent for nearly 10 years, but I still maintain an interest in
the old place as my parents still live in Bancroft road.
I
enjoy reading the info you've collected.
The
new picture you've got showing the old 'one up and one down' cottages were
situated on the Corby Road. They were on the left as you go out of the
village, just past the junction with Blind lane and have been replaced
with a grass bank that rises up to the Millfield estate. I can remember
George Smith used to use one of them in the 60's for his furniture
restoration business.
Keep up the good work.
All
the best
