Amazing to see how little has changed in 60 years since I was born there and the 17 years I spent growing up in this lovely little village. Equally amazing to see buildings I never knew existing before. Thanks for the share Simon.

Thank you for the comment, @paulwooding8382. It's lovely to hear that it's been appreciated. And yes, I agree about the buildings - there was at least one (near the old school) that I had no idea was there! It's also interesting to see how the mediaeval buildings have been developed and added to. I take it that you're one of THE Woodings (and therefore Hedingham royalty, basically!)?

...In fact, I think you're possibly Steve Wooding's son?

[@paulwooding8382]

​@@simondawIndeed. His youngest :-) He cast a big shadow and left some big shoes to fill, which we all do our best to live up to.

​@@simondawIt's the building behind and to the right of the memorial hall. Used to be Ruffles coaches. Is that a new build?

[@simondaw]

@@paulwooding8382- ah, yes! Several houses - built about twenty years ago. We’ve (so far…) missed most of the huge developments which have…well, *changed* the area more generally. Most of what we have had have been brown field - Ruffles, the old coal yard on Sudbury Road, and the former youth hostel annexe. They’re all quite high quality builds, and fit in reasonably well, though with the traffic on Sudbury Road now I’d say that pretty much every trip from the coal yard is in a car.
