Alton Tiles
A tile shop seems surprising in a such a small village. It has preserved an elegant shop front of red sandstone, on which is carved the name 'Byatt'.

High Street and the Black Bull, Alton
The Black Bull seemed to be the only place in Alton serving lunches on a November weekday, and we enjoyed it enough to come back the next day.

Tree cutting, New Road, Alton
The road was closed for carriageway repairs, but it was evidently an ideal opportunity to cut back overhanging trees. On the way down we used a steep cobbled footpath to the left, which went past the Talbot Inn. This was evidently the old road. This new road is probably over a century old now.

Red Lion Cottage
This was once a yeoman farmhouse and, despite remodelling over the centuries, is still original enough to be grade 2 listed. The date stone above the door reads "A.K. 1657". There used to be a Red Lion pub somewhere in the village but I have found no evidence online to support this being it. It was also known, at one time, as Yewtree Cottage.

The White Hart, High Street, Alton
Welcoming lights, although it was not yet four o'clock and the pub did not as if it was open.

St Peter's Church, Alton
This church has a Norman north arcade (rebuilt in 1830, as was most of the church). This view shows the 14C tower.
