Site of Demolished Works This is the site of the former works of the Wheeler Reconstructed Stone Company which produces artificial stone from a mix of cement and crushed Bath stone.This is used in new build house projects as a cheap replacement for natural stone. They appear to have relocated to Marsh Lane, Temple Cloud but it is uncertain if they are still manufacturing. In this image it can be seen that on the remaining site there appears to be evidence of an old kiln , perhaps a lime kiln.

The Star Inn High Littleton The High St. in High Littleton did at one time have three pubs, the High Littleton Inn, the Star Inn and the Old Market Tavern.  The Star Inn, which first opened as a beer house back in the mid 19th C, was the last of the three to arrive but now is the only one left.
