Title: An interesting event at Fullers Vale pond, about 1923 [Go to resource]
Description: This picture is undated, but looks to be taken in the 1920s. Presumably the driver had misjudged the bend, as has happened to many others since. Elsie Johnson (neé Pearce) remembers the occasion well. The car in the pond was on its way home from a New Year's party at Hilland. She lived in the shop across the road, and says that her father was called out in the middle of the night to help get some girls out. The year was sometime between 1922 and 1924 she thinks. She is not in the picture herself. During the Second World War, a tank coming down Fullers Vale hit the letter box at the bottom of the Kenton House drive, by the brick pillarthe box was subsequently moved to the other side of Pond Road, where it is now.
