The name Cold Harbour come from the french word Herberge meaning a lodging place. These were unheated resting places for travellers many hundreds of years ago. These two mock half timbered houses are probably of 1920's origin and are located on the A30 the main east west route through Sherborne. Since the building of the A303 a few miles to the north, the A 30 is no longer a long distance route from London to the west country.
