Buscot Village

If you saw Buscot Church I posted on Sunday you might be interested to see some of the village itself

Driving past the entrance for the village is easily missed when you drive through

First thing you see in is the Village hall  

which looks like it was opened in 1897  

 Over the years people have carved their names in the entrance window sill

 

Dennis really made his mark

and so did a lot of other people

 Think this was the village well at one time

Looking back up through the village from near the car park

Buscot Village Shop which has changed hands since I visited the place, it's a tea room and well worth stopping off for lunch or tea at (I can vouch for it)

At the end of the road near where you go to Buscot Weir you can see this building which is Bed & Breakfast so if you want to say some where you could try here.

W is for Weir

Weirs are barriers across rivers to alter the flow characteristics and help prevent flooding. The river Thames has many along it's course some more impressive than others.

And where the water flows the weirpool.

One of the nicer ones along the Thames, Buscot Weir.

Buscot Weir

On Saturday I went off to visit Buscot to get a photo of a pillbox there which I spotted lat year but was unable to get to at the time due to too much undergrowth. On the way back I took some photos of the weir.

 This is the weir

 So I took a series and stitched them to get the weir pool

This is a horse shoe bend which is another stitch.

Buscot Weir

Buscot weir is along the River Thames Near Lechlaid, the Thames meanders along is a series of bends and the weir feeds in to a pool which flows off to the right. Out of sight is a second weir which feed into a cutting and a lock cut.

This is a stitched photo I took.
