More about this scene

The main road we see in this photograph is the busy A343 Andover to Salisbury route. At the foot of the hill is a junction. Left is for Nether Wallop and right is for Over Wallop. Out of sight by the café sign is a large roadside pub, The George Inn. This dates back to 1927, replacing an older inn demolished as part of a road widening scheme.

Does anybody know who took or who the people are standing at the bus stop? Remember getting the bus from Wallop to Andover or Salisbury many years ago as a child.
1946, I was stationed at RAF Middle Wallop and remember the village with watercress beds. Rationing was of the vogue but next to the aerodrome was a bungalow that always supplied eggs and chips to ever hungry airmen. If anyone remembers me please get in touch. Jack Lawford.
