Barry belives that Corner Cottage, the unchanged flint and brick banded cottage on the left of both pictures, was once the village police constable’s house. Between the photographer and The Crown, on the right, is a small thatched outbuilding which clearly made way for the town war memorial after the First World War, just visible on the right of the ‘now’ image.
