Gas Pipe Layers in Pizien Well Wateringbury

 Courtesy of Dail Whiting

Dail kindly sent us the above photo and following words.

The date of the stamp on the back of the photo is 1907. I know the men (Leney's Workers) were laying gas pipes because I know a lady who was born in, and still lives in one of  the cottages nearby.  She seems to agree with that date, and knows that the gas pipes are on the left side of the road,  and the water pipes are on the right heading up Pizien Well Road  towards ‘The Wheatsheaf’.
