Dist:0.1km<br/>A fine early 18th building, still in service. The extension to the left is slightly later and is the former brewhouse, which explains the impressive chimney. Listed Grade II

Dist:0.1km<br/>Situated just outside the Unicorn's Head public house. The kiosk is Listed Grade II, like a great many of these kiosks, but unlike many it still retains a working phone. The pillar box is unusual for a small village in being a large size (type A), but is in fact a replacement for a neighbouring Victorian wall box, now out of use but carefully maintained http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2255669, http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2255677. The box has ref no. NG13 51, Langar Post Office.

Dist:0.1km<br/>I took this shot simply because I liked the shapes of the gables, with their traditional brickwork, rising sunlit against the dark sky. Only after I got home did I notice the date 1717 built into the brickwork. This is the western end of the Unicorn's Head at Langar, which is Listed Grade II

Dist:0.1km<br/>Attached to the end wall of the Unicorn's Head public house are an early style AA village sign, and a nice VR wall box. Earlier views show that the AA sign used to be position on the right hand gable wall.

Dist:0.1km<br/>This is now out of service, having been replaced by a modern pillar box http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2255659 , but retains its information sheet and is in generally good order. It was probably replaced due to having a narrow posting slot.

Dist:0.2km<br/>The western approach along Cropwell Road. The buildings to the right are Bottom House Farm with a fine group of buildings from the 18th/early 19th centuries (and including some earlier structure) which as a group are Listed Grade II.

Dist:0.3km<br/>The farm is now simply residential property. The wall between it and the field is of some age, dating from the 18th century and being Listed Grade II. It was originally the boundary of formal gardens which filled the paddock in the foreground.
