The Old Lock Up
"The area of the junction in this picture postcard 'the old lock-up' is now a crossroads/roundabout and the lock-up has been removed to the junction of Stafford Road and Sellman Street, not far from the church (St Lawrence)."
"There is an entry at the top of the hill, to the right of the white house (which in my time was the doctors surgery) which leads to the barn, school, and church."

1965 View of the Post Office

The High Street (looking towards Audmore Road) with the Post Office building (then a private dwelling) in the far distance.

The High Street (looking in the opposite direction to the previous picture) "If you walked in that direction you would/will come out at the top of the hill in the old lock-up postcard."

The Barn
"[It was] next to the church. The barn was still standing, though derelict, in the late 50's but had definitely been pulled down (!!) by the mid 60's."
