I lived at Woodhouse Mill for a short while in about 1967. My parents kept the Princess Royal pub. I remember that lots of the locals were real characters, and there was a really nice walk into some woods just by the row of terraced houses.

is the large field still there next to the rother?

the small shop backing on to it?

the church on the corner across the road, then the garage, then the club?

further up before the bridge was a small newsagents?

The big field i think is what they now call the washlands, yes it's still there . the shop is no longer there. the building is but it's been converted to a house now. The other field behind that , the one you may mean too is still there too. That is behind the row of houses that the shop was on. All the others are still where you remember them to be . you seem to have a very good memory melthebell!
