On the face of it, this is a rather uninteresting looking photo but in truth if we enlarge sections we can see that it tells us a great deal.
The style of labelling tells us that this was a Peter Francis photo. We have it dated as 1960s.
Let’s do some of that zooming in.
Here we see houses on the Fiddington Clays estate. They are looking fresh and new in this photo.
An older bungalow is surrounded by newer houses. Was this the former home of the Alexander family who had Southcliffe Farm?
Houses were still under construction at the time.
Roughly in the centre of this photo we have the 1892 built Congregational Church. We also see Stobbarts Road and Townsend. We also see the Southcliffe barns which now stand rather forlorn.
So yes, there is much to be seen in the photo.
