TOAD'S HOLE VALLEY

In my collection there are many photographs of Toads Hole Farm buildings and cottages, mostly taken from roads to the south-west and showing the gradual building development that followed the Second World War. Here, however are two views from the south east showing the peaceful area as it was on 31 December 1938, when the photograph was taken. The farm ran almost as far as the eye can see, and in the distance (top left) is the Grenadier Hotel and houses running north in Applesham Avenue. The land immediately around the farm remained undisturbed until the 1950’s when house building commenced.
