Upper Basildon: former General Stores I wandered around Upper Basildon for a while, without finding an obvious village centre.  The most substantial older building I could find was the one shown here.  I wondered whether it had once been a pub - though village pubs usually stand back a bit from the roadway.  There is an air of importance about it - could it have been a police station?  If so, it would have been unduly large in a small village.  

It was only when I spotted Des Blenkinsop's contribution  <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3756000">SU5976 : General Stores, Upper Basildon</a>   that I saw the 'ghost sign' up at eaves-level. It's still there, but somewhat faded.
