| Taken in the 1870's - the photo looks
across Richard Roberts' 'Leat', with its CLAPPER BRIDGE towards the
Rookery (left), Magnolia Farm cottages which were burnt down in 1902
from a spark from the factory chimney, and a mysterious building in
Rookery Mead, which may be a barn or summerhouse (centre distance).

then two cottages and is believed to have been a sweet shop in the
late 1800's. |
