This road is in a very historic Village with a Saxon name and a 13 Century Church that replaced an earlier one.

I presume the anti-skid road surface is relevant? Leading up to a level crossing?

Thankyou all for your kind words. I'm currently working on a pamphlet/small book (50 pages and counting) which will include the whole Foord family. If you can bear with me for a while I can publish the Foord section here in due course.

Thank you MartinR. A very interesting family History indeed. Like stuartwaters suggested, if you have time? There are so many projects linked to this family, perhaps a different thread to work through them?

Thanks MartinR. I didn't know anything about the Foord Almshouses and their history prior to your article. It's amazing how people used to give such large sums of money to charity in the past. I get the impression that people with money these days keep it to themselves - although I guess there are exceptions.
