My wife and I owned Sherfield-on-Loddon post office (pictured far left) from July 1991 until July 1999. In 1992 the shop front pictured was extended out into the garden about 15 feet and a complete refit undertaken. We did, however, retain the hand made sign over the shop front which was renovated and rehung on the new part of the building.

I went to Fairfields in 1956 until 1961 and it was a Secondary Modern school then, and the infants were at the bottom end. I believe it was turned into a junior/infants school after that as most went to Charles Chute School which was brand new.

I suspect either caption "Basingstoke Boarding School" or "Fairfields School" is correct, depending on your time period. I attended this school in the 1960s & 70s when it was aan ordinary (non-boarding) Infants & Junior school called Fairfields, and yes I remember Mr. Thomas, the headmaster, as an authority to be feared.
But the building was much older than that,... [more]

Hampshire Photographic Memories
The 16th-century half-timbered Manor House in Vyne Road fronts directly onto the road, so that its striking architecture, including carved bargeboards on the gables, can be studied at close quarters. Adjacent is a small Esso garage discreetly set back from the road.

Today modern houses are interspersed with the cottages. Nearby, close to the church, older cottages with thatched roofs and latticed windows can be found. The eastern part of the village is more modern. Bramley Road to the south has an avenue of horse chestnut trees. The Army's Central Ammunition Depot was situated here - a sign for this can be seen...
