	Comments:	This card appears to have two publisher's credits, one in black and one in red, with a note saying that it is printed in the USA. Oddly enough, the only adult in this shot appears to be a "lollipop lady" in white coat to the far left of the image.

For a current-day view of this scene Click here. The border to the left has now grown so much that it is impossible to take a photograph from the same angle. The seat has been updated (not shown in the photo), the telephone box updated and the postbox remains. The tree has grown to the point where it is buckling the paving slabs. Note that a roof extension has been put on to create a sheltered walkway.
