Jack Botham aerial photograph 627. Kingsland Road. W.I. Hall on the left with Port Arthur to the right of it. Rainbow Road near right edge. A little further to the right is The Cabin and then Rainbow Cottage. In the centre, Elmwood Drive now head north from Kingsland Road and curves round behind the WI Hall.
The bungalow in the centre on the west (lower) side of Kingsland Road was built by Ron Green in 1955. The large shed by the road, just to the left of the white house and opposite the W.I. Hall was moved and became David Green's workshop.
Notes from Brenda Stacey, granddaughter of A.W. Berry who owned Port Arthur.
The W.I. Hall - AWB gave them the land during his lifetime, I remember now their telling me about it. It used to be Grandma's chicken run - her hens provided eggs for the kitchen (can't remember what AWB did with his) - but she gave up chickens long before he did. I remember the excitement of being taken to the Peldon Rose one morning (not during opening hours! ) as they had some guinea-fowls she wanted.
