Danbury Common.
Photograph taken looking towards the house called "Cotswold" and
"Blackmore House" which used to be the "Black Boy" public
house but it was closed in 1910 as the Magistrates felt
that there were too many public Houses in Danbury. The
pond was dug quite recently a little way from the old pond.
