These photographs were taken by Jill and Nev Bagnall.
They compare various sites in the village that have been redeveloped since the late 1960’s. Jill and Nev had the foresight to take pictures just before key buildings were demolished.
We are most grateful for their permission to reproduce them as part of the Bottesford living history project.
