More about this scene

The sign in the foreground points to the Army's Central Ammunitions Depot in Bramley Road, which eventually shut in the 1970s. Straight ahead is the White Hart, an 18th-century colour-washed brick building. Still trading, it has toothed eaves and an old tiled roof. Inside, above the fireplace, there are rare pigeon holes for mail. Sherfield on Loddon is 5 miles from the M3.

We did, however, retain the hand made sign over the shop front which was renovated and rehung on the new part of the building. We had our daughter and son whilst we were living there and Sherfield will always hold a special place in our memories.
