More about this scene
Hermitage, about three miles to the north of Newbury, is one of Berkshire's larger villages, comprising houses and bungalows built between the wars and then later in the 1950s and 1960s, as well as newer developments dating from the 1980s and 1990s. Long Lane, which links Newbury with Streatley, is much wider and busier today.

One Sunday morning during the Second World War we were woken by a very loud explosion, ...see more
Delighted to find this photo. I was born in Grimsbury Castle in 1946. I came to America at age three and know very little about the history of the Castle and surrounding area. I did visit the Castle in 1971. The appearance was much the same as it is in your 1955 photo. There were in fact adders close by even then.
