1915 The High Street Houghton Regis Looking East towards Tithe Farm

The Ivy covered house on the left is still there. The sign for the Five Bells public house can be seen on the right.

This is a postcard sent by a soldier billeted on the Green, to his girlfriend in Ipswich. He writes: "This is a view of the main street of Houghton Regis which leads to our camp. It is fearfully cold here today and was ever so dark early this morning. Did you hear the Zepps (Zeppelin Airships) during the last raid?"
