![]() ![]() IMG_9972.JPG The ice-cream shop (with the striped awnings) is the house that Esquay was in front of; the street to the right of it is where the house was, that’s side-on to the main street in the 1944 photo, and the house to the right of that in that photo, is the one to the right of the street in the “now” picture. I stood here to take that photo, looking northeast. The building that was behind me when I did, is now a small supermarket (and has been for as long as I can remember), but was the main village shop in 1944 — the man with the flat cap in the photo of Esquay was the shopkeeper. You say that as a joke, but I looked at my watch when I left home (15:21) and when I came back from taking that photo (15:28) ![]() Last edited by Jakko Westerbeke; 30-07-23 at 15:45. |
