Grandma and Granddad have lived in their house since it was built c1950 and still have the same telephone number - only now the first 2 digits are part of the number rather than the code.
Great Granddad (over here on the left) was the man in the village with the battery charger, and is noted on the map (drawn by Granddad) showing the village as it was 1935/36. It also includes the post office, village pump, pig killer, sheep shearer, 2 butchers, cobbler, the seed shop, cycle repair shed, bee keeper, fish & chip shop, public toilets, abbatoir, 2 public houses and a working men's club.
There were many more facilities then than there are now even though the village has expanded significantly.
