Summary

[edit]
Description

A postcard sent to Ted Claxton. Showing St Peter's Church, West Green, Crawley, West Sussex, England.

Note that the path and hedge are now gone. If you zoom in, you can see people standing outside the shop at the end of the road. Photograph-taking was an occasion, and proprietors would often stand proudly outside their shops, even in the distance. Note the number of open windows; the Victorians and Edwardians believed that natural ventilation was important. There are signs on the road of horse mess, but no traffic - a Sunday perhaps.
