It was from here that the children of the village waited for the school buses to Blandford Grammer School and Sturminster Secondary Modern School. We never mixed, the Blandford children waited by the cross, we waited by Curtis's shop. At that time Mr Dyer had this butchers shop and Mr Pride had the pub. Before that Mr Davis had the pub, Mr Turner the butchers and Mr Cottle had a harness shop next door. Some of the children had to walk over a mile to catch the buses.
