CAN you guess where this week’s Mystery Photograph was taken?

Each week, the Journal invites readers to identify a historic location from days gone by.

Due to a technical issue Jeff Parson’s email last week was overlooked. As is often the case with Jeff’s guesses, him and his coffee morning team were correct in their assumption that the previous week’s picture of the procession showed the International Order of Good Templars.

Our team took a call from Mr Charlie Brimble who thought last week’s mystery photo was Station Road in Clutton. He guessed it was the Congregational Chapel in the fore of the image with the hall behind. He added that both buildings are now houses, and beyond the trees is now where the local school is situated.

We had a wonderful email from Betty Smith (nee Ettle) who wrote to say: “How lovely to see Clutton Congregational Chapel and school room in this week’s Journal.

“It brought back many memories, as a young girl living in Clutton we went to the chapel every Sunday; twice a day when it was the Chapel anniversary and prize-giving day.

We think this image by a main road may be more familiar, so where do you think this is?

“In the school room we held pantomimes, social evenings with local talent, Christmas parties, jumble sales etc; my sister was married in the Chapel.

“Both are now homes. I’m now 88 years old but still remember it well.”

Martin Horler wrote in too with his memories: “I think this week’s Mystery Photo looks very much like the old Methodist Chapel at Clutton, the building behind it is the primary school.

“When I was an apprentice painter and decorator I painted the outside of this Chapel but someone had smashed a great number of the windows and we had to replace the glass.

"Because of the unusual shape of the glazing bars we would hold a piece of glass against the window frame and score the glass freehand with a diamond glass cutter. I still have the glass cutter to this day, some 63 years later.”

Thanks to all who wrote in and to Radstock Museum for this week’s photograph.
