2009 : The St. Wanstrow
That is what it is called on the map, "The St." The A359 forms two arms of the crossroads and Church St. behind. The Pub stands on the corner to the right.
Note the green wheely bins and the post box.

The Primitive Methodist chapel in Wanstrow
Dissenters in the village used to have to use homes or inadequate meeting rooms, along with having to be granted a licence to do so. A Wesleyan church was built in 1835 (now demolished but recalled in the modern Wesley Close) and this Primitive chapel came along in 1877. The founding was on a site granted by a Mr W. Walwin and the designers and builders were Ashman and Son, of Leigh on Mendip. The cost was £235.

2009 : The Pub, Station Road, Wanstrow
The name is original at least, I haven't seen a public house called that before.

A rural reminder
An old piece of agricultural equipment lies (presumably unused) in a small patch of grass in Wanstrow. A nice little bit of rustic decoration.

Right on the crossroads
The main road crosses the middle of Wanstrow and naturally is a focal point. This building used to be the first pub, known originally as The Otter's Head; it changed to the Queen's Head, the Wanstrow Inn, before being split and sold to become the Post Office and a private residence. The role as the post office ended fairly recently as the service moved to the village hall.
A benchmark can be seen on the corner - Image
