Holtspur: Esso service station
The service station is on the A40 Oxford Road and offers all the usual facilities, including the bizarrely named "On the Run" franchise. (Think about the various connotations!)

Holtspur: King's Head
Victorian Ordnance Survey maps show that Holtspur was then really not a lot more than the King's Head, presumably a coaching inn on the main route connecting London and Oxford, and a now long-lost brick works. Today the King's Head is a Harvester restaurant on the A40 (the Harvester Beaconsfield), but you would struggle to see evidence of its original name (it's there in red under the dark green oval Harvester sign, if you look closely, but sadly lacking the apostrophe). See http://www.harvester.co.uk/harvesterbeaconsfieldholtspur/ for details.
Another sign of the times is the advert for hot tubs on the roundabout.

Holtspur: The Church of St Thomas
With the post-war spread of Beaconsfield and the swallowing up of the hamlet of Holtspur the need for a church was perceived as urgent and a structure was first built here, on Mayflower Way, for that purpose in 1949. The present-day church building seen here dates from 1961. The site was once inside the curtilage of the old brick works that extended southwards to the road between London and Oxford.
(Photographer's note. No amount of digital manipulation will turn this photo into anything worth looking at! It's the wrong view at the wrong time of day and in the worst lighting conditions. Apologies but at the time of writing it is the only photo of the church on the website.)
