Old Granary at Wasing Park in Berkshire The old grain house in Wasing Park has a paneled brick design and was constructed on stone plinths known as staddle stones. The purpose of these stones, shaped like mushrooms, is to prevent rats and mice from reaching the stored grain. The building now serves as a bunk house accommodating visitors to Wasing Park.

Seriously closed road in Brimpton Unlike in London there was notice of the road closure a couple of miles east, I had no idea which road though and no idea of an alternative, and was very lucky it was the only road on the route I wasn't going to use but turned off where the diversion was anyway. I may have become extremely confused otherwise as I am totally unfamiliar with the area. Brimpton Memorial is on the left.
