The village children on the 'Swing
Common' by Chain Pond on the Saturday nearest to the 1953 Coronation
watching a "puppet show" with adults acting out Punch and Judy off the
tailgate of a lorry. Each village child got a 6d coin, an orange and a
Coronation teaspoon. The number of children in the village was quite
small as the London overspill estate starting half way down Copse Road
and at the bottom of Hardwick Road was only just being occupied.
