Bell Street

Looking West. The land behind the wall on the right is the site of the Methodist chapel - built 1935. Note St Mary's and no pavements. Cottages on the left now one big house after having been Parnell's Hairdressers and Barber. |
Looking West Not as old as the one on the left as the creeper is much bigger on the cottages. Still in the days before the motor car. Note no sign of electricity or telephone cables. |
Looking East. This was probably taken before WW1. Note the doorway at the side of the hotel and no annex. The name Rose Cottage on the left is probably wrong. Roseneath is more likely. |
Looking West. Note the 'new' annex to the Oak Hotel. Home Farm is on the left. The meadow on the left is now Fair Close. Note St Mary's in the background. The Oak tree is no longer standing - a new one is growing. |
Looking West but closer to St Mary's than the

Very similar to the one above. Note the Barber's Pole on the
house in the middle. Provided by Mr. C. Cock. |
The Methodist's Chapel and, on the left, the Hall built in 1935. Behind the Chapel is a meeting room. |
Bell street in the 1960s before the housing estate went up on the left. Flint faced house is Roseneath. Photo provided by Mr Gott |
This much earlier photo shows part of the field on the left which is now Oakfields Estate. |
A superb photo of part of the Oak Hotel, minus annex, Roseneath, the
beautiful thatched barn and a very muddy street!
