In the 1960's I rode ponies at Mr. Burgess's stables, and he lived in the house in the centre of the shot. His mobile grocery van was parked in the drive, and Spot the dog guarded his store room opposite the pony stables. There was a small paddock at the back, and a big and productive pear tree on the back wall of the stables. The ponies included Wendy, David, Joey and, later, Penny. In the week they lived usually in a field off Julian way and we collected them and rode them bareback to the stables on Saturday morning. They often galloped the last section, sometimes on the grass of the green (there was no hedge).
Higher up High Street was Mrs. Coates' (Cotes's?) rival stables, now a small housing development.

When I rode ponies in Kingsthorpe in the 1960's there were no bollards in front of this, and on Sundays people drove their cars onto the cobbles and spent a happy morning washing them.
