This page was created with the help of Claude Brand who kindly took all the 'Now' photographs; this indicates the changes that Thorndon has seen over the past 100 years or more. Many houses considered worthy of renovation now were ordered to be demolished in the 1950s having been deemed unfit for human habitation. The picturesque cottage next to Mole Cottage in High Street being typical.
