Hindon, Wiltshire
A fire on 02 July 1754 destroyed a large part of the, mainly, thatched and timber framed houses and shops in Hindon High Street, their replacements were built in stone with clay roofs. These, now Listed buildings stretch both sides of the B3089 and are worth seeing when having lunch at one of the pubs.
Hindon used to be on the main coach route from Exeter to London, and at its peak had 17 pubs! The railway, with its nearest station at nearby Tisbury, put a near end to that, and just two remain, The Grosvenor (was known as The Angel but has reverted to its more historical name under new ownership), and The Lamb. The village also has a village shop/post office, doctor's surgery, village hall, a primary school, and parish church.
