The Vale Hotel, 32 High Street
It was originally The White House (not to be confused with The White Hart, or The White Lion, both of which are still open). It was a staging inn during the 18th century, and a posting house in the earlier part of the 19th century. During that century it was rebuilt. In the late 1890's it was renamed The Vale Hotel. Possibly this was because it was popular with members of the Vale of the White Horse Hunt. Today it describes itself as an inn and restaurant. The Vale Hotel's location is at the junction of High Street, Calcutt Street (in the foreground) and Bath Road (on the immediate left of the hotel). As can be seen, the entrance to Bath Road is very narrow, and it is no longer a through road, having been replaced by a road built in the 20th century. Image

The Vale Hotel, 32 High Street
The road on the left of the Vale Hotel is Bath Road, Interestingly there are no windows on this side of the building. On the High Street frontage, there is a bracket, from which a sign must at one time have hung. Outside is the well-known clock, put here in 1897 to celebrate Queen Victoria's Diamond Anniversary. She had become Queen in 1837, and died in early 1901. Image

His-N-Hairs, High Street, Cricklade
A feature of some tonsorial establishments is a name that involves a play on words. This might not be the most original to be seen but the proprietors are to be applauded for at least trying.
