Dist:0.7km<br/>Southwest corner of this building which occupies three sides of a square. Originally a coach house and stable block it is now known as R and T Block, see also [[969851]].

Dist:0.7km<br/>This building appears to be attached to the western end of Hursley House. It occupies three sides of a square, the other side being on the right of the photo. Probably originally a coach house and stables. It is now known as R and T Block. The keystone of the arch below the clock on the far side of the building has the date 1829 and letters which may possibly include WH. It is likely therefore that this block was built by William Heathcote who became the fifth baronet in 1825 ( http://www.hursley.hampshire.org.uk/history_of_hursley.htm#Heathcote ).

Dist:0.7km<br/>A curious building which might be partly underground in view of what appears to be a stairway at right. The door was open as I passed but it appeared to be empty. http://www-05.ibm.com/uk/locations/hursley_details.html

Further information provided by Chris Ling in July 2010: The building is used for electromagnetic compatability measurements (EMC) by Hursley EMC Services (http://www.hursley-emc.co.uk/ ), a firm formed in 1997 as a management buy-out from IBM. It is an entirely plastic building (even with special fire extinguishers) so as not to affect the radio emissions being measured. There is an underground room where they have the equipment and a fully screened room. It was built by IBM in 1985.

Electrician
can anyone recommend an electrician local to North Millers Dale? I have phoned just about every one I can find in the local directory and online, and not one has answered the phone or returned …
