Holtspur: Glory Hill Lane
This lane used to connect Holtspur and Glory Mill until it was cut in two by the building of the M40 Motorway. No doubt confusingly to some visitors the remnant part on the other side of the motorway is called Glory Mill Lane, while this part is so-called because it is close to Glory Hill Farm. For a view of the lane in the adjacent grid square to the west please see Image

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: 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!)
