Midweek header photo in Monkton Village

This is a view I saw 100s of times years later in the 1950s.I was brought up on the Windermere Cres Estate a couple of hundred yards to the left of the photo. There was a little path with a duck pond alongside it from this lane that led to our Estate built close to the long gone Slag Heap.

I lived on Grasmere Rd near Windermere Cres. and cycled to school through Monkton Village each day.
ST. Bede is said to have been born in Monkton hence its name.
