Newbury 1940
A Memory of Newbury.
My parents ran the Swan Inn in Newtown Village just outside Newbury from 1936 to about 1943, This was before Greenham Common became an American Air Force Base when it was just a Common. Originally Newtown was called Newtown Water because of a river/stream that ran across the road just prior to reaching the Swan. The main road past the Swan was the Winchester Road.
