SEE HOW THE PARISH HAS CHANGED OVER THE YEARS!

SEE HOW THE PARISH HAS CHANGED OVER THE YEARS! 

These photographs give an interesting insight to how the parish has developed through the years. You may be surprised to see how much industry went on. Some features such as the garages and the Union Inn have been demolished to make way for housing and road building but you will still recognise many important features.  

If you would like to share any photographs and the stories relating to them on this blog site please feel free to e-mail  jph6@hotmail.com. We would be very interested in photographs of Sandford, Grimpo and Haughton.
