I live in Little Leigh, never knew about these pictures till I accidently Googled, survey and here I am. Little Leigh does have a website. www.littleleigh.net and a facebook page. the website has history & maps on there going back to 1770. plus the village was mentioned in the doomsday book, but digs suggest vilage goes back to prehistoric . During the second world war children from Liverpool were evacuated to the village and stayed next to the church; St Michaels and All angels, in the school. This church has a reodos behind the altar, last supper, the terracoota and church bricks were made locally in Northwich. (have added a picture of the Reodos). A WW2 POW camp to the East of the above photo if you carried along Ash house lane to the border with the next village; Comberbach, . Probably, many of those in the camps would of worked on the farms in Little Leigh.  |

Hi Gill,  nice to hear from you.   This image and the others in the sequence were "unidentified" for a while; the project's cataloguers didn't have enough information to locate them but thanks to Dylan we got a grid-reference in the end.   I hope you enjoy looking at them, maybe you can give us a bit more info about the trial plots/nursery business other area? Yours, Katy Britain from Above Cataloguing Team Leader  |
