The picture was most likely to have been taken in the early 1920s.

William Bryans is pictured here with his grand daughters Shirley and Pam in front.

Mr Webster is pictured in his garden

talking to Mrs Elizabeth Bryans from the Manor House.

An early reference states that the Manor House was moated and that it once had a drawbridge. In this photo taken in the 1920s, the shape of the old moat can be clearly seen.

Photographed in the 1920s.

W.J.Hunt painted his impression of the Manor House in 1947. The building had stood empty since 1934 when the Bryans family moved to the newly built Manor Farm House on Browns Lane. Note the partly fallen ivy-clad chimney on the left. The old Manor House was finally demolished between 1948 and 1949.

Three cottages can be discerned. Kemps Cottages are on the left, followed by Rose Cottage, now number 35 Stanton Lane. On the right is Goddards Cottage, now demolished. The moat crosses from left to right behind the sheep.

The plough attached to a hawser was pulled back and forth between the two engines. The winding drum can be seen between the wheels. Stean ploughing using the special Fowler ride-on ploughs was used in Stanton between the 1860s and 1938.

Dixie Ball from Bunny can be seen on top his steam traction engine. George Webster from Glebe Farm, Stanton, is standing on the cart on the left. Many of the regular farm jobs such as ploughing, sowing, weeding, harvesting, carting and rick making were communal efforts by the farmers of the village. Note the presence of the girls from the Land Army.

with their daughters Lois and Marjorie.

We believe this is the only known photo depicting the inside of Goddards Cottage on Stanton Lane. Ebenezer is seen with his grandson Garnett Bradshaw.

This view was thought to show the present Stanton Lane in Stanton but no one in the village could recognise the houses. Thanks are due to Nigel Morley of the Keyworth and District Local History Group for identifying the scene as Selby Lane, Keyworth which had formerly been known as Stanton Lane.

The Stanton water tower on Browns Lane was opened in June 1933 as the first of its kind in Nottingham.

It was demolished in 1985. The site today can be identified by a surrounding ring of mature Poplar trees that must have been planted as a shield.

Three ventilation shafts cleared the smoke from the steam trains as they passed through the tunnel. Note the elaborate brickwork around the top together with the curved dressed stones that the iron grid rests on.
