Description
Stan Casbolt’s recollections of 20th century Littlebury Green are brought into sharp and absorbing focus in this, his daughter’s Sarah’s first book.
They describe a time when farm workers walked between meadows of cows and fields of sheep to go to The Old Rose or The Hoops for a pint of beer after a day’s work.
When nearly everyone went to church, and in the afternoons and evenings walked between villages along footpaths scented with the wild flowers and honeysuckles of the hedgerows, visiting each other, and looking around each other’s allotments in their Sunday best – the men in bowler hats. And how, inevitably, as time passed, change came to this northwest Essex hamlet.
