The lower road leads to the delightful village of Sitterton. The name was changed in deference to Queen Victoria when she came to Dorset, but the original name is still used locally. The road on the right goes on to meet the A35 westbound to Dorchester.

Shitterton, village pump
At the top of the lane leading to the settlement. The pump has been well preserved, though the handle seems fixed. A trademark shows that it was made by Lee, Howl & Co of Tipton: http://www.villagepumps.org.uk/manufs.htm

See
Image for one of the previous signs, and within it a link to another picture.
