Then and Now
The above is the only photo we have from way-back-then. We don't know when it was taken... Pre-War, surely ?
This is a shot from across the river: (the gite is on the right)
Note that the front door and steps have disappeared! (From under the diagonal retention wotsit, which remains to this day.) So, too, have the shutters and the wooden gates. That's progress for ya!
On the other hand, we now have lots of granite, limestone blocks, bricks and flint-stones, plus all those garret-like thingies... and COLOUR!!!! It must have been SO depressing living in black and white!!!
Another inhabitant of Embry has their own web site (in French) which includes some more VERY old black and white photos. It isn't possible to link directly from here, so just click on the following :
Embry, Pas-de-Calais - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
followed by "Website of an inhabitant of Embry", near the bottom of that page... and then "L'Histoire > hier".
