Real quaint village scene Roger, we have a couple of old alms houses here in Thetford with the front door leading straight onto the road. A bit to close for comfort for my liking.

Roger (Grisly) ^club has replied to HappySnapper

Thanks Maurice, I have an old photo or two somewhere in the proverbial shoe box that I took in Thetford what feels like a hundred years ago.
If I remember where the shoebox is I will get them scanned.

HappySnapper has replied to Roger (Grisly) ^club

I'd like that Roger, we are always looking for then and now comparisons, perhaps I could do one from your shoe box if you find it!

You are more than welcome Maurice, The issue may be tracking them down but sooner or later I will.

This is a delight Rog. A real beauty. Lovely pov with the road, devoid of people, flanked by attractive houses and with the beautiful Sweetheart Abbey towering over the scene. Great sky, - a little moody and it all adds to the atmosphere of this image.
