Modern private houses have replaced the workers' cottages giving a clear view of the thatched roof of Home Farm, a late 17th century Grade II listed stone house. Thomas Manning farmed here before 1911 when Edward Wykes (Teddy) bought the farmhouse. The entrance to the leather wholesaler is just beyond the foreground telegraph pole. The latter was built in the mid 1960s by Peter Lee to deal in leather components and belts.
