The Stute

High Street about 1910.
Taken just after the point where the Hollow becomes High Street. These thatched cottages have unfortunately disappeared to be replaced by more modern buildings. The sweep of the houses has remained the same, particularly the railings on the raised pavement in the distance. The large pole on the house denotes a barber's business. The pavement is of the 'petrified kidney' type and adds character to the frontage. The Daubers Pool on Keats Lane used to supply clay for the chimney stacks on the old thatched roofs.
