In 1941, a bus fills up at the only petrol pump in the valley, located at Claude Williams’ shop, which also served as the Post Office. The hand-cranked pump would fill a glass bowl before the fuel flowed into the vehicle. Behind the shop is the cheese manager’s house; the factory had already closed by this time, and the house was later relocated.
