The old cottage at No. 123 still exists, as does the footpath alongside.

The Reading Road crosses the River Loddon a little to the south of the old bridge, which looks extremely narrow. This stretch has been known as the 'Causeway' for well over a century; the river has always been liable to flood.

Note the gravel pit to the east on No. 133; the local Road Surveyor would have used the gravel to keep the road surface in reasonable repair.
