As ever a considered and excellent mini history lesson. I hope Shaw House put a link on their own website as you deserve lots of views. Thanks for making these great little films.
My dad was born and raised in Newbury but alas ended up in USA. Thus am interested in your postings. Samuel Freeman and Emma Sharp who ran one of the woolen mills are ancestors. Thanks.
Great and informative as always Phil, it’s a shame they got rid of the waterfall fed canal, I’m guessing the reason was because of the construction of Church Road judging by where it appears to be located?
Thanks Lucas! I suspect the water features were expensive to upkeep and subsequent owners modified them until they no longer ‘featured’. (Did you see what I wrote then? 😂)
Informative and well-presented as always. Many thanks for sharing!
Thanks @mirekgosney187 I value your opinion! 🙂
Thats my old school used to have lessons in the room with the plaque

Thanks Niki! The video is expected to be added to their website but the wheels grind slowly! 😅
Nice one Philip. Good to see you haven't lost your touch!
Thanks Neale, this one was quite a challenge: such fascinating stories that it was hard not to make an epic!
Very interesting, many thanks, Philip. Looking forward to the next one!
Thanks for your nice words. It’s a lovely place!
Superb documentary! Fascinating. Thank you for your research. Great production, too.
Thanks Dave. Your cheque is in the post! 🙂
Another great video, good job Philip.
Thanks Kieran! Nice of you to say! 🙂
I was there yesterday. Beautiful place, I work for the local authority so got to exploring on my own.
I agree, it’s an amazing place! Thank you for your comment. 🙂

Thanks Cynthia. Wow, you’re almost famous! Kersey cloth was a significant feature of Newbury in past centuries.
Fantastic Phillip, many thanks!
What? You must be the first viewer! Congratulations! Sadly there’s no prize. Thanks for your kind words. 🙂

Thank you. It’s an interesting story and I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Another great video Philip, it’s a shame they wouldn’t let you spy under the plaque!
Thanks Matt, I totally agree about the plaque! I’d like to see the old bakery too. 🙂
