From Florence Harvey's photo album, another old p
The old shed type building just behind the Old Elm Tree now has new doors and housed the Fire Engines for the West of England Fire Engine Station.
It appears to be a winter picture, the Old Elm has no leaves. Beautiful Georgian houses on one side of the road, a thatched cottage and a gas lamp on the other side. No traffic, no 'street furniture'
I don't think much time has passed between the two photos.
Does anyone live in Moretonhampstead who can tell me if the Old Elm Tree still stands ?

The mystery,history and Archive of the Harveys of Bristol, a wealthy Victorian family 1866 to 1937.
The mystery is how this original personal family archive belonging to Florence Harvey came to be found in my deceased mother's house in Essex ten years ago.
Florence was living in Sri Lanka in the 1930's so how did it arrive in England and why did my mother have it?
My great aunt may have brought it back to England but why was it not returned to the Harvey family?
Does this Victorian family not have descendents to whom it could have been returned?
Why do the documents,archives and photos cease about 1937 when Florence Harvey's mother died?
The Harvey family have no connection to my own family.
It is our intention to return the Harvey family archive to Florence's descendents if they can be found.
Read their story on my eBay blog jeannchris and see their images here through time from 1866 to 1937.
