Great to see this photo Allan, I remember the shop you can see as the co-op in the late 50's early 60's

Great photo. Not changed a bit but can you imagine children playing on the grass there today?

What a marvellous photo Allan! It really captures the sense of peace and tranquillity of Downall Green in the old days.It's amazing how the view stayed virtually the same right into the 60's and beyond.

Does anyone know when the terraced houses opposite the church on Rectory Road were built?
