Bell Street, Ludgershall I am not the first member of the Geograph community to notice this street - and I think I know why.  It is situated about half a mile east of the town centre, and most of the housing stock along that stretch of the A342 looks more recent - either post-1950 or drastically modernised.

I wonder whether Bell Street was built by some industrial employer.  For instance, the Midland & South Western Junction Railway ran close by, and had a depot in Ludgershall.

Track to Shaw Bottom The track descends into a typical downland dry valley, now completely deserted. At the bottom, in the gap between the woodland once stood Shaw Farm, now long since disappeared. My long lost great aunt - Eleanor Susan Hatton was employed here as a servant aged 14 in 1891. She must have walked this track many times.
