Standing in North Street looking towards the Church and cistern where North, South, East and West streets meet in the centre of Denbury.  The shop on the left is Soper's Butchers which has been converted into a house.  The cistern used to be the main water supply for the village and is now the war memorial.  Another source of refreshment was Tozer's Church House Inn which is now two houses.  This photo is from around 1905.

The annual outing to the seaside assembling in North Street.  Date unknown.

 

The horse drawn tank contains water which was sprayed onto the road to soften it and help the steam roller press stones into it.  This scene is in North Street circa 1905.
