Shaw Cum Donnington
« on: Wednesday 14 October 09 21:30 UTC (UK) »
Hi,
Was wondering if there was anyone on this site who could assist me to identify where a certain
property was around the 1850's.     The name was Shoredean Farm, Shaw Cun Donnington.

We will be travelling around Newbury area in the not too distant future, coming from Australia, we would love to have a greater knowledge of the area, before we leave, for all of our planning.

Regards

You are probably looking for Shaw Dene which was one of the farms between the old Oxford Road and the Hermitage Road. Access is off the Oxford Road, near to the Donnington Valley Hotel.

A search for Shaw Dene at www.streetmap.co.uk will find the house.

Newbury chap and Byng,
Sorry I've taken a while to answer, but we have been away, thanks for this information.

Wonder if you could give any recommendations for staying at Newbury, like a B & B book that may be available, or Pubs around the area at a reasonable price.

Newbury Chap, there is so much to see around the area now that we've got all this history on our New family.

Thanks for all of your assistance.

I can't really recommend accomodation in Newbury - not having had the need to use it. Byng's options are probably reasonable.

The Chieveley travel lodge is in the motorway services, not the most wonderful surroundings but easy to get to. 

Pilgrim's is not really in Donnington - which (in my book) begins a few hundred yards north, on the other side of the river Lambourn - but it's fairly convenient, and easy walk from the town and seems to have ample parking. 

The Bacon is in the town, very convenient, plenty of parking and one of my favourite bars - but almost certainly more expensive. The food is okay, typical of a pub chain, cheapish and plentiful rather than gourmet.

There are others, the Newbury Tourist Information Centre should be able to let you have details.

Hi Newbury Chap,
Thanks for this info, I've looked at Bacon Arms at the website, and it looks interesting.  We're not too fussed about gourmet food, so long as it is good food.   So long as we've got somewhere to park our hire car.   We're going to check out the Swan Inn at Newtown, this is where Walter New was licensee some years back. Believe they have a good Sunday roast lunch.  It's a shame the old Two Brewers and London Apprentice aren't still there !!!

Do you know much about Greater Faringdon, is there anything there much to look at, as this is where all of our New family originated.

Regards

Faringdon (or Great Faringdon as it used to be known) is a nice little town, well worth a visit.  Easy to do as a trip from Newbury.

Hi Newbury Chap,
Just prompting my memory, did we talk previously about Walter New being the Licensee of the Swan Inn at Newtown, or are you only researching Newbury itself.

Byng,
Small world isn't it, I'm not absolutely sure what year Walter New was the Licensee, have to be early 1900's, maybe Newbury Chap may be able to confirm that.

I'm afraid I have tunnel vision when it comes to pubs - as the Swan is not in Newbury I have not collected any data unless the same newspaper item etc includes reference to a Newbury pub.  Its a policy that has made the workload a bit more manageable but I do wonder at times if I shouldn't have collected all licensing material for the area (in case I spread out to neigbouring parishes at some future date). The Swan is one of the pubs that are within a couple of hundred yards of Newbury's boundaries which would be the first to be added to my area of interest if I ever expand it.

The only data I have on a Walter New is from 1908 - 1910, when he was landlord of the William IV, a beerhouse  in Bartholomew St - which is still standing even though it was closed as a pub in 1910.

Let me know when you are coming to Newbury and perhaps we can meet up.
