Close-up of previous photo. Note the 'Road Narrows sign so familiar to many of us and the complex telephone poles. The peaceful aspect and the quiet road seem to epitomise everything we have lost in our modern world.

By Jane Jefferies: My great aunt used to drive down Grange Hill with the hand brake on when she came over from Tollesbury to visit her sister in West Street. Because she couldn't reverse she drove round the Gravel -in the 1950's Bridge Street wasn't one way- and parked on the path in front of West Alpha. All she had to do then was turn right into Bridge Street to go back to Tollesbury.
