| West Common. Seems like there is a group of children there - this was the playing field for the Boy's Junior School, and just before the end of my last term as a pupil there, so I could possibly be one of the group. |

| Doctor's Alley - a path from the High Street to the Common. The house to the right was the home and surgery of Dr Totton in the 1940s. |

| High Street, in the 1940s the A5, now bypassed. Then it was very busy with brick lorries taking bricks from the Bedfordshire brickworks to rebuild London after the blitz. |

The low, flat-roofed building centre-left was a nursery school in the 1940s, and then was used by the village youth club in the 1950s. The house and building between the white semi pair and group of trees was the village junior boy's school [Headmaster: Vivien Cooper]. Three classes, the whole of the Common for use at playtime. I was a pupil at the school at the time the photo was taken. |
