Title: Otterbourne Hill, about 1950 [Go to resource]
Description: Copy photograph of a postcard (S C 279). Otterbourne was geographically a large parish, and contained two distinct centres of population. Otterbourne Street was the main settlement. Otterbourne Hill lay some distance away, approached along Stony Shoot. Otterbourne Hill consisted originally of thatched cob cottages. During the nineteenth century these were largely replaced by slated brick cottages. Few now remain. The area was historically common land, and its piecemeal and unplanned settlement is nicely shown on this photograph.
