The shot of Riber was taken from the garden of 45 (later 12), Lynholmes
Road, on the first days of the Hurst Farm Estate development in the
1950s. The field in front of the house belonged to an old character
called Johnny Else who lived in an old farm house where the shop opposite
the Lindens, (formerly Nalgo House), was sited on Lime Tree Road.
He used to have the local lads chopping logs for him and also haymaking
in the field shown.
It certainly spoiled the view of Riber and Mornington Rise after the
houses were built.
