Now I have written about Court Yard several times and in particular about Annie Morris who lived there at the turn of the last century.
And here is Court Yard from the pen of Mr Llwyd Roberts who was living in Eltham in the early 1930s.
Many of his drawings appeared in the Kentish Times in 1930 and were reprinted in Old Eltham sixty-six years later.
He was a fine artist and draughtsman and some at least of the pictures will have been drawn from first hand knowledge others like this one were probably drawn from picture postcards and photographs taken at the turn of the last century.
