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.

New building on White Hill, Old Burghclere In 2011 this was a layby, now it's either a small barn or a house. The absence of windows points to agricultural use. The A34 can just be seen running parallel on the far right.
