History of the village

Old Photograph of Local People

The village website has recently been given a selection of old photographs.  A number of these are of people who may have lived, or maybe are still living, in the village.  We will be adding a selection of these photographs to the site over the spring period. You may be interested to see who you know. 

• Maybe you can spot a relative?     
• Do you know when or where they were taken?    
• Perhaps they bring back memories of earlier times?

Here is the first one.    Click on the image to see a larger version which identifies each person with a code.

• Do you recognise any of these people?

• When was it taken?

• What are they doing?

Try printing the larger image, and asking those who do not have access to the internet.

If you do know anything about these photographs, or who the people are, then please let us know. 

Send your comments with any names of people to:   content@brafieldonthegreen.org.uk
