At the pond, Craddock House
The picture features Mrs New and her family at the pond, at Craddock House. We’d be very keen to hear from the New family or anyone who has any information they can add to the archives, about this picture.

Highland Terrace, Uffculme, taken from Commercial Road.
The houses stand above the bowling green on what is now the childrens’ play park and should give a clue to the date of this picture. From comments to this web site from local residents we are gradually improving the information abut photos.
Taken from Commercial Road and facing North-North-West, these houses have now been demolished in 1980 and relaced by new houses and roads. Google Street View.
Coldharbour, Uffculme

Heading south, down Coldharbour, just after Grantlands.
With your back to Commercial Road (B3440), this shot looks down Coldharbour, heading south. Grantlands would be back over your left shoulder.
The tree on the right has long gone and parking is a little more of a challenge, these days!
Please tell us what you know about this scene?

Standing at Uffculme
This picture of a steam train standing at Uffculme is undated.
The quality of the image makes it very difficult to find clues – unless of course you are an expert on the Culm Valley Railway.
Do you know anything about this train? If so, please tell us.
Commercial Road, Uffculme

Commercial Road, Uffculme
The picture appears to be taken just before number 13, Commercial Road, Uffculme. This is just opposite Highland Terrace, which is on the left in this shot – heading towards Uffculme Square. The image in more recent times can be seen on Google Street View.
Can someone confirm this is correct? Perhaps you know (or know of) the family that used to live at No. 13?
