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.

The building in the background was Milbury Stores

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"

Does anyone know what the sign is for at the right of
the picture? Just after the metal railings. I can make out H.W....!

[*]The "House" plate (now the Letter Box flap) was placed there by David (a Solicitor, but I can't remember his last name) when he renovated the house back in the early 80

I'm gradually bringing the House back to the Original state, low wall and metal fence, but Not the Butchers Shop...

I am told when Mrs Piggott's father owned the 'House' in the earlier part of C20 it was called 'Providence House'
