Sandbach in 1943

In 1943, newsreels captured the charming historic streets of Sandbatch and Great Budworth in Cheshire.

The footage of Sandbatch includes:

• half timbered Tudor houses
• the Tudor Manor house
• cobbled market place 
• 2 Saxon crosses
• 400 year old church 

The footage of Great Budworth includes:

• the Norman church
• stone stocks and lychgate
• cobbled lane
• inn, and sign "slay the dragon of drunkenness"! 
• pump house
• lanes 

You’ll notice a complete absence of motor vehicles. Instead, children and prams abound. How life has changed!
