Taken around 1955, this b&w image was photo-tinted, and now digitally enhanced. The Angel Inn is an ancient hostelry, and after this was taken, sported a full-sized yellow mail coach outside for several years, but now long gone. This 50-year old view shows how many large and mature trees there were at that time, compared to now. Also, by the 60's, the leaves of hedgerows and trees were covered in a fine, greyish dust for much of each summer, the product of several local quarries and coalmines, spoilheaps, etc.
