A DISTINCTIVE building features in this month’s mystery photograph. Do you recognise it?

Contact the editor at [email protected] if you do.

Last month’s mystery photograph was taken looking down the High Street in East Harptree, which is the main access to the village from the main road. It’s not a particularly busy route, even today, but no doubt there would be at least a bollard at the bottom of the ladder these days. The date is probably around 1905, or even earlier, when cars would have been an extremely rare sight in the village.

There are details of the residents of the street in Jon Budd’s book East Harptree Times Remembered Times Forgotten, available in the village community shop, but no clue as to the identity of the man up the ladder.

The Harptrees History Society is always interested in old pictures of people, places and events in the Chew Valley and Wrington area. If you have any you would like to share, please email [email protected].
