View from Fishers Fold | Situated across the road from Marsh Mill, Fishers Fold in the early 1800's appears to have been an area for industry. In 1840 there was a Wheelwright, a Grocer and a Shoe Maker. By the 1850's the area was becoming more fashionable with a School Mistress and a Landed Proprietor in residence. By 1900 though, with the steady growth of the population and the building of new shops on Ramper Road, many of the houses remained empty. |
