Comment by Richard Woods on September 23, 2022 at 15:04: Love the rather US-style car whose driver appears to be making no specific decision on which side of the road to use...

Comment by Victor Farthing on May 16, 2025 at 20:52: Eade Rd heading towards Hermertige Rd. New River on the left. Maynard sweet factory on the right. I wouldn't have thought Vivien House had been built at the time by the age of that car.

I'd been living here years before I learnt that Maynard's used to be there!
