This wonderful photograph was kindly provided by Peter Green, whose grandfather, Eustace Green, is the man holding the horse.  He was a blacksmith who later worked for many years for a firm called Albon & Sons at Becontree Heath, before retiring in the early 1950s.

The sign on the front of the house states that at the time of this photograph, the business of C H Hunt had been established for 80 years.
