Taken at the junction of Daniels Lane and Spencers Lane in the early 1960's.
The Bowling Green was an Almond's house.
Next to it is Roughley's Stores which was in the premises of the former village bakery. The upstairs rooms were part of a seperate house entered from the side of the building.
Both were demolished in 1968 to make way for a road

I lived in Digmoor from 1962 and often shopped in that store - but we called it 'Brian's'
