The man with the baker's truck is Mr A Saunders whose wife appears in another photo. In the distance on the left is the Doctors House, the plaster yet to be stripped and the wooden structure hidden. Further away are the cottages that were demolished when the Jaggards Road estate was built shortly after the end of WW2. The name Jaggards derives from a field name of 1731 where the houses were built. Although this area was a centre for weaving and it might seem obvious that this name derives in turn from 'Jacquard', a type of loom for weaving, it seems impossible as the loom was only invented in 1804. Date: c1920?
