Narrow escape for bus driver
It may look like downtown Baghdad, but
this is the scene outside the Craven Arms in Enborne yesterday
evening. The driver of Newbury Buses service no 13 was heading
back into Newbury - fortunately with no passengers - at around
5.30pm, when he smelt burning electrics and stopped and got
out. Within a minute or two the bus was ablaze, and within 10
minutes, when the fire brigade arrived, it was burnt out.

Firework party planned
Agents Strutt and Parker and Peter
Maclaine are offering three options for buying North Lodge:
• the four-bedroomed house (as
pictured), with Kennet
fishing and
a total of 4.31 acres for
£1.05 million
• the former studio, now a three-
bedroom house, together with
summer house and 8.32 acres
for
£1.15 million
• the whole 13-acre site with both
houses for offers in excess
of
£2 million.
The estate agent’s signboard on the
White Hart now reads SOLD, and the details have been taken down
from Peter Brunsden’s website.
Recent village rumours identified several
potential buyers:
• a very local property
developer - for houses
• a Newbury farmer - for
industrial units
• a pub-owner from near
Reading - plans unknown
• a very local
pub/restaurant - to keep it open
Fortunately for the village the last seems
to be the one to have clinched the sale, although nothing is
yet confirmed.
Friday 5th November
