I had no idea Watership Down was an actual place till I found I'd taken it without realising it.

Electricity transformer in Old Burghclere

I have found normally these are on the ground but when you have electricity poles instead of underground cables they are often on the poles instead. It probably saves lots of hanging wires otherwise.

Sign entering Old Burghclere

It wasn't me, it has been knocked down. It is also double sided (I took it as well) implying the village is only two dimensions at this point. I think the daffodils made the picture.
