YARCOMBE CLUB, 1908
In
the early 1900s it was more the norm
to dress up for outside events than
it is today. Even for sporting
events it seemed that your Sunday
best clothing was a must.
The
lady on the left with the sunshade
is Mary's grandmother! |

These photographs,
presumed to be scanned copies,
may have been loaned to the pub during
the Community-run days and for
several years were posted on the Messages/News
webpage with an appeal for information.
In March 2021 the mystery was
solved:
Clive Doble writes:
I can confirm that the photos are of Doris
and Tom Podbery at Rosshayne Farm. I
lived at Broadley Hill for my first 26 years,
which is just under a mile walk up over the hill
to the north. Doris came from
Plymouth with her son Keith Pawley as a house
keeper for Tom and his Brother Bill. Eventually
she married Tom and they had Andrew who now lives
with his family at Rosshayne.
