Fun and games for all during the 1950s

This largely unsung hero lived in Naphill from 1920 until his premature death in 1943.

His home was Cournswood House in Clappins Lane, a house which since his death has been substantially modified and now provides office accommodation.

So here we take a look at the social scene in Naphill in the 1950s:
