Grange Hill with E W King himself outside his office and warehouse.
E W King, who became known as 'The Sweet Pea King', bought Tenterfield, 3 acres 1 rood and 19 poles, in 1900 for £262. He built a new timber warehouse and later a brick built office both shown here. The old warehouse, a very ancient building near the Cricketer's and his shop at the top of Bridge Street were both demolished to widen the road.

Photo comment By Rod Miller: Trevor noticed E W King brought "Tenterfield" tenterhooks is I think the name given to the hooks on which some cloth was stretched. Any ideas if that field was thus used? Monks or others using it for such purpose?
