Dist:0.5km<br/>This cricket field appears in the Ealing comedy 'The Titfield Thunderbolt' towards the end. For people who appreciate trivia the scene shows a batsman being bowled out when his attention is distracted by the appearance of the eponymous train. The bails leave the stumps as the ball arrives at the wicket at least a foot (304.8 mm) off-target. The pavilion is just outside this square at ST778619.

Dist:0.5km<br/>The classic pairing of letter box and red telephone box. ST7763 starts round about where the van is. Down the lane there is an old circular lock-up with a domed stone roof (unfortunately there was a car parked in front of the door when I was there).
