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.

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?
