A very rural scene from days gone by.
Do you recognise the building and can you tell us anything about the people who lived there? If you can, and would like a mention in the Chew Valley Gazette, please do get in touch, as the Harptrees History Society would love to know more. Contact the editor at [email protected] .
Last month's mystery photo showed the main A39 entering the centre of Chewton Mendip from the Wells direction, pre-1905, when this coloured postcard was sent.
The present Waldegrave Arms is clearly visible on the left, although at that time it was called The Rising Sun. The ‘old’ Waldegrave Arms was on the opposite side of the road, the name being transferred when that building was demolished around the 1930s and a garage built in its place. Since then the garage has been knocked down itself and replaced by residential properties.
If you have any old pictures of people, places and events in the Chew Valley and Wrington area that you would like to see in the Gazette as a mystery photo, or that could be added to the Harptrees History Society's archive, please email [email protected].
