Thank you Bill. I have enjoyed looking at the Plumstead stories website. I hope other people will be pleased to read them. I often wondered why my photo was receiving so many hits. Now I understand why when I see all the school pictures on the website. Plumstead has certainly changed since your youth. Thank you for making the contact.

Monk's Bridge was built around 1300 by the monks of Burton Abbey on the site of an earlier Roman bridge. It may well spring from the foundations of the Roman bridge. It carried the A38 (Ryknield Street)traffic until the 1930s when it was bypassed by a new concrete bridge.

Egginton Church is dedicated to St. Wilfrid. This is a modern stained glass window depicting St. Wilfrid among things typical of Egginton village: willow wands, swallows, the River Dove and the green fields.
