High Street – Surrey Cottage

Photograph of Mr Surrey standing outside his cottage next to Chesterford House on the High Street. It was demolished when the land was sold off for housing. Mr Surrey was a lime-burner working at the lime pit off Walden Road. The cottage was lived in by Arthur Halls in the 1930s when he worked as a chauffeur for Colonel Stanley of Chesterford House. The gable end of a the barn on the extreme left was at one time the Scout Hut and in 1989 became Ash Cottage, the annexe to Ash House.
