Dist:0.4km north<br/>Mays Crossing is one of the two level crossings in Datchet, and takes Queen's Road over the railway line to and from Windsor Riverside station. The other level crossing is next to the station. This is viewed looking in the direction of Windsor on a day when no trains were running due to engineering works at the other level crossing. See [[1075352]].

Dist:0.5km north<br/>This fine pharmacy shop is Edwardian and designed in the half-timbered style with a nod in the direction of the use of traditional building materials that was the trademark of Sir Edwin Lutyens. The balcony has a couple of Christmas trees and a festive wreath.

Dist:0.5km north<br/>The mid-19th century frontage of this public house conceals what is probably the oldest building in Datchet, an early 15th century hall house. The building belongs to the Barker Bridge House Trust which funds projects of benefit to the local community. The pub sign is, unusually, on the other side of the road, The Green, from the building.

Dist:0.5km south<br/>Sunday morning maintenance work on the level crossing is in progress by Balfour Beatty here. The cranes are hired in from Hydrex http://www.hydrex.co.uk/pages/aboutus.htm and have both road wheels with tyres and steel rail wheels with flanges. From a Geograph point of view the Ordnance Survey large scale maps show the 177000 Northing grid line just clipping across the top of the far corner of the level crossing here.

Dist:0.6km north<br/>This part of the Home Park is private, with no landing, mooring or access allowed. I'm probably not supposed to have taken a picture of this cottage and boathouse either.
