Colour version of the by-pass photo from the Berrows Newspaper, on Friday 18th July 1958.

Here you can see that the old Knightsford Bridge is still there, that the route of the new bypass has been mapped out and the new bridge can be seen to have had lots of work done on it. On the other side of the river to the left you can see the Talbot Hotel, Knightwick Church, and on the corner to Ankerdine Hill are the Farm Cottages where Alan Morris lived. Behind in Bridge Orchard you can see the old hay barn and coming forward again the Post Office where our family lived and where my mother Doris Holland was sub-postmaster.

In the foreground is Woodford House where Dr Clarke lived, many will remember that he had a tin roofed building on the side of the house which was the patients waiting room and from inside his house he would invite you in to his practice. Dr Parsons was his partner and he lived at Shortlands. Then there was the Butchers, owned then by George and Eric Stephenson. The butchers shop was part of The Flying Horse owned by Charlie and Gladys Robinson. Here you can see that it cut across part of the land that they owned opposite their house. I can always remember that their son Gerwyn Robinson used to keep pigs and cattle in the barns and buildings that you can see bottom right. Gerwyn was married to Phylilis H. W. Harris, sadly Phyliss died on Monday, 14th July, 1958, only four days before this article in the Berrows Newspaper.
