Philip Nias

Philip Nias kindly provided some maps and a photo along with some memories:

"Further to the update on 12th May from Davnet van Tinteren (which was further to Virginia's earlier posting about nightingales) and to your addition of old maps of the village, I thought some might find the attached maps interesting or, at least, amusing! 

I'm not sure when the first was created (but late 60s, when I was perhaps 10 - certainly when we still had the "Vikings HQ" in the garden of the Post Office, marked on the map - a rather dodgy structure erected by David Teagle and me (see attached)!

The second is dated 5th April 1971 (so I would have been 13) and even states the population of the village as 258!

I cannot vouch for the accuracy of either!"
