This photo, clearly taken from the top of the tower of All Saints’ clearly show the two surviving thatched cottages in Church Lane (although Lilac Cottage is now rather larger) and, in the foreground, the one which was pulled down before 4 and 6 Church Lane were be built there in 1963.

You can also see the Jolly Brewers, with a large annexe at the north end which is no longer there in that form, Queen Anne Lodge, and the forge at the junction of Fen Road and the high street.

Taken by an unknown photographer in about 1900.

There’s a suspicion that this photo is posed: the people in it seem a curiously bucolic mix, especially the chap on the left with the scythe. There also seem a lot of people in shot if it was by chance, given the alleged age of this photo.
