Newbury, Berkshire, England: Shaw Village, c1911

Nowadays firmly part of Newbury, at the time this photograph was taken, Shaw was very much a village in it's own right.

With the post office on the right, we are looking north towards the bridge over the River Lambourn (which joins the river Kennet near Ham Mill on the London Road). The cottages adjoining the shop were demolished in 1971 but the white Shaw Bridge House remains unchanged.

The original bridge was rebuilt between the wars and the mill and miller's house have been developed into flats.
