algy Posted May 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Not much stuff from Orford Algy? Bill Sorry Bill I only have four of Orford and they will show as I work down the list, they are Orford 'Mount'(house), Orford Hall(2), and the old Orford school. It mustn't have been a very photogenic area or maybe they were frightened of getting there cameras pinched. shouldn't have said that, now I'm going to get Harry knocking on my door!. :grin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleopatra Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Wouldn't Orford have been all farmland in those days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your absolutely correct in 1910 it was mostly agriculture and as late as 1928 there wasn't much there, mostly farm land and a tannery that had been there since before 1849.
