Hartney Wintney

Hampshire view map

Hartney Wintney has a very old cricket club - it was originally formed in 1770.

Their ground is delightfully placed and I had such a shot in mind to illustrate this village.

From my childhood days, I do remember Hartney Wintney as a refreshment stop when we'd take the coach down to Somerset, Devon or Cornwall. These days, the motorway network makes such stops redundant.

I now know where I will stop for a refreshment if I ever take a drive to Somerset. V

Just as expected...the geographical distribution may be different, but the scene is familiar to me :) I'm sure the residents of Hartney Wintney have no objection to the traffic by-passing them....safe to say, cricket is alive and well !!
