Hadley from above, 1984

Hadley from above, 1984

We’re flying high above Hadley, and this is the view below. We’re not over the centre of the community, but above the Haybridge Steel Works, which are bottom right.

On the extreme left is Haybridge Hall and, as you can see for yourselves, there’s work on a new road in the upper right hand corner.

The photo has a January 1984 date on the back, but that shouldn’t be taken as gospel, as it might have been the publication date. The trees on the left seem to be still in leaf ­ but maybe they’re evergreens.

    Re the Column garage, I think Spitfire engines were assembled there during the war.

    regarding “Captain Webb Memorial”.
    Look at that – all the way up a ladder without scaffolding, hard-hats, safety gear, risk assessment or anything! How on earth did we survive without Health & Safety?
