White cottage
The white cottage on the left belonged to my GGrandfather Arthur Pont Searle. He lived here with his daughters Florrie and Violet ( Nan married Mick Clarence Careless so left home) . I remember there being a hunting scene wallpaper in the kitchen with one length put up , upside down .

We don't know the date but a good estimate would be around 1910 - 1920.

Hi, I was just wondering if someone would know when this photo was taken?
Thanks

What is the year?
I’m just looking into the history off this house. As I now live at this address I was looking for old photos to establish its history and usages from first being built to the current day. Any history and pictures would be grateful. Thank you. Andrew

Berrycroft
This is from the corner at the junction of Long Lane, Mill Road & Berrycroft. The old Chip Shop (now Chinese takeaway as well) is behind the central electric pole.

Reg & Connie Johns' house on the left. I used to love going over to see them when I was little. There was a really old bread oven in their house.

My dad had a postcard of this scene which he gave to me and I in turn gave a copy of to the Cambs Collection. His parents lived at Ivy Cottage Church Street opposite the church WW2 and 50's - Harry and Emma (nee Hayden) Welsh.

Looking at the original photo you cannot read the white sign. The larger sign is partly visible with a name starting: H.W.Ch... and under that the start of the word ENG... probably "engineer" or "engineering"
