| The small green opposite Girt House
had two names - the 'Clump' or 'Five Elms', long since victims of
Dutch Elm Disease. They can be seen on the right. Girt House is
flanked here by 3 cottages. |

| The lady on the right ran a small
store in the end cottage. She, like all the other people, has been
carefully posed for an interesting photograph in C. 1915 |

| This shot, soon after a fire in 1927,
shows what a hazard fire was to the average cottager with his open
hearth, sparks and thatch. The fire engine took at least an hour to
arrive. |

|
| This view of the 'Clump' and Middle
Street has changed little, except for the position of the cottage
front door, and the form of transport. The single tree is now
represented by a Field Maple. |

in the doorway. |

| The wall on Middle Street was clearly
not high enough for Admiral Ingram! The raised position is still in
place. See also the steam engine chimney on the skyline next to the
church tower. |
