Putting Names to the Past

  The Société Sercquaise’s Heritage Room was busy yesterday when more than a dozen people helped identify some of the hundreds of photographs that have been loaned or given to the group over the years.

The high vantage point gives views over the hedges, and the quietness of this mode of travel is characterised by creaking of the harness, the jingle of the rings on the horse’s bit and the rhythmic thud of the hooves on un-tarmacked roads. All the carriage drivers have to take a test to obtain their Carriage Drivers…
