Cromwell House c1900
A wonderful photograph of Cromwell House, a timber framed building dated 1631 but most certainly of earlier construction. This was dismantled and taken to America in the 1920s by a distant relative of the Croft Family.

An view of Cromwell House which shows the structure of the building beautifully. All the wattle has gone from between the timbers and only a little thatch remains on the roof, leaving a skeleton of timber. The question is - was this building the first Stillington Hall?

C1904
East side of the Green. Cromwell House is just visible in the top left corner.
The cottages were known as 'The Wasps' Nest' and housed some of Stillington's poorest families.

The house in left foreground,Woodville, has no bay windows, which it has today. The White Cottages in the background were demolished.

Jack Lane corner with The National School to the right. Pupils at play can be seen. To the left is The Boot and Shoe Inn (start of the white cottages).

This scene shows the eastern end of The Green clearly. A road ran behind the buildings there and led out onto Mill Lane.

The Green as viewed from the entrance to North Back Lane. Cromwell House is once again in the view. The National School is not in use but as yet not converted into the Village Hall.

c1930
Looking down Jack Lane. The school has been converted into The Village Hall - there's a patch of render still visible and that remains to this day. The boy standing at the road junction with the geese is Cecil Wood.

c1937
Jack Lane corner showing houses demolished during a road widening scheme. The sycamore tree stands at the Mill Lane Junction. A sign can be seen over Boot and Shoe Cottage.

An almost identical scene to the one opposite. Both images are from postcards by Raphael Tuck.
