Photographs of Church Walk Shrivenham

This photo comes in the form of a Postcard sent to Ethel Mutters in Devizes from Alice in Shrivenham. The post mark over the stamp shows that it's clearly a Shrivenham mark and it's just faintly possible to see the number 10. This is very likely to be 1910 as at the top of the walk there is a set of iron gates. These were removed to enable the current Lytchgate to be placed there on 6th May 1912. Also the attire of the people would suggest the same.

The second photo is dated to circa 1990s and was taken by Mervyn Penny.
