 " OLD & NEW A very old photo from Buzza Hill to compare with a modern one from as near as I could get to the spot where the original was taken from ! " Shipbuilder Thomas Edwards rented a parcel of land near the church, " Tommys Field " now occupied by S. Mary's Hall, Springfield Court, The Methodist Hall and Chapel It provided space for a saw-pit and held huge stocks of imported hard and softwoods and provided some undercover storage ".

Is that a 'pond' on the Buzza in the foreground? A forerunner of the present day enclosed reservoir? Holgates looks impressive.
