West Grafton

One turning off the A338 leads to West Grafton, the disused railway and station are to the east of the hamlet, and this lane passes directly alongside the few cottages which constitute this very small collection of residences. Surviving residents of nearby hamlets speak fondly of the access to the UK from the railway station which connected directly with both Salisbury and Swindon in its heyday.
West Grafton is very small (9 houses only) and there are no amenities save for the phone box on the A338. The farm, at the end of the track, breeds chicken and traffic on the lanes is very sparse indeed. Squeezed between the larger hamlet of West Grafton and the village of Burbage, this hamlet remains quiet and undisturbed. |
