Part F – Workplaces
In 2009 Bourne Hall Museum put together an exhibition of photos in Bourne Hall foyer, bringing back to life long-gone buildings of character that many argue should never have been demolished.

The builder’s sheds at Goodship & Saunders, one of the last working yards in a High Street now all shops and houses.
Elm Coachworks off Woodcote Road, one of many small businesses that disappeared to make room for housing.
