| This shot, C. 1900, shows
the two-part nature of the village, owing to the disecting,
floodable River Bride (see 178). The core of the village lies around
the church, here dominated by the former engine house of Roberts'
Flax Mill north of the river. South-over-the-Bride we have only two
old roads - Southover and Bridge Street. Mostly centre and right of
this photograph.

| Southover Cottages,
mostly thatched, lie for the most part on the south side of the road
facing north, as does this view. |

| Looking back towards the
village from North Hill, you can see there are no houses yet in
Beach Road.

|
| Just after World War II, the
Pitt-Rivers estate gave this meadow by the bridge to the village for
use as a playing field in perpetuity. Goal post marks the spot!
