Circa 1935:

Postcards,
perhaps from the
mid-1930s.

A school
photograph believed to have been
taken around the time of the First
World War, about which little else is
known unfortunately. Can
anyone name names? |

A school
photo taken in front of the
houses opposite the Yarcombe Inn
around 1916
The
girl with a bow in her hair is
Shirley Briant's mother.
See
Harding's shop in the
background. |

Many of the
same children as above in this

Gathering hay
in the days before technology took
over!
Shirley's
father is central, at the rear. |

These
two photographs are believed to have
been taken in the old hay barn at
Underdown. |

The
foundations of the Jubilee Hall
are laid by David Meyrick's grandmother. The Hall was opened on
Empire Day,
24th May, 1938. |

This was
taken outside the Yarcombe Inn
during the first World War. |
|
The photographs above were kindly
provided by Shirley Briant.

The two postcard photographs
above were provided by Ruth Everitt.
The first shows the church and Yarcombe
Inn and judging by the single car in
view was probably taken in the 1960s or
even later. The second was
published in 1933 and was taken from the hills
north of the A30, east of the village,
part of which can be seen in the
distance on the right. |

Above:
Probably the earliest picture of the
Yarcombe Inn, judging by the
quality!
This is
currently on display in the Inn. |

|
This photograph is on
display at the Yarcombe Inn and was
apparently taken shortly after a
similar one shown above. It shows
local farmers queuing to pay land
rents. |
|
|
|
|
| |
The
four postcard photographs
below were kindly supplied by Michael
Rich.
Postmarks found relate to the date of
posting so the photographs themselves could
originate even further back.
They
all date back at least 100 years!

Above:
This is a view taken from the church
tower in or before 1908. The
school on the right (now The Belfry
Hotel) is the most prominent feature and
the light-coloured building behind the
houses in the centre of the photograph
is the old slaughterhouse.
Some of the dwellings running alongside
the school are instantly recognisable.
Note the stylish agricultural equipment
in the foreground (see extract, right). |

Yarcombe
on a 1910 postcard photograph taken from
fields to the south. An
unusual angle, possibly showing features
(such as a large tree) which no longer
exists. Further information
on this to follow. |

Another good shot of Yarcombe's one and
only shop (above), now in residential use.
The photograph was taken in 1904 or
before. |
|
| |
|
|

An even
better photograph of the shop and
presumably, the proprietors, supplied by
Steve Horner. Year unknown. |
