Looking East.
The Oak Hotel is on the left. Note the 'fingerpost' giving directions. Taken before
traffic became a problem.. |
Very rare and very old. Note the gas
light and, on the extreme left, a man on a bicycle.
From Alison Whistler |
Note the finger-post, no hotel signs and no porch. Also note the railings
around the Oak. The sign could read 'The Oak Commercial Hotel'. The gentleman we don't
know! |
The porch has been added as have the signboards together with some
alterations to windows and doors. 1920s
Both sepia photos loaned by Mr R. Walden. |
Looking South-West
Note the two painted signboards showing the Oak Tree and the RAC & AA signs. Taken
late 1940s. |
Note the St John Ambulance Brigade sign outside St John's Hall which
had been the YMCA hut since the end of WW1. The cellar doors are open. |
A lovely summer day!
