A- Tim Lane to Main Street

-

****The old BJ Vicarage once stood on the plot of land now occupied by 24 & 26 Main Street and the small bungalows on Tim Lane.

-

However, it was not considered fit for the Vicar to live in during John Rolleston’s incumbency (1882-63) and it was let to 3 families. --The Vicar moved to a house close by the Church. - Huummm ! very interesting

-

The Vicars in these early times had to be Farmers also - John Parker had eight cows, three beasts, five calves, five horse, eight pigs, and forty eight sheep also barley and peas - .. WoooOW!

-

In 1848 there were 7 shops in BJ incl William Harby - The Baker and Coal Dealer

2 others were sited side by side at the corner of Tim Lane and Main Street.

One was the business of Miss Swinscoe and the other Mrs Alvey,!!!

At the rear of Mrs Alveys shop was her husband’s Stocking making business.

Mrs Alvey was invariably seen with her head wrapped in red flannel
-”To ease her neuralgia and head aches”-
