The West Berkshire Historic Environment Record (HER) is the primary index of the physical remains of past human activity in the unitary authority of West Berkshire Council. Limited elements of the West Berkshire HER are available online via the Heritage Gateway, therefore it is not suitable for use in desk-based studies associated with development, planning and land-use changes, and does not meet the requirements of paragraph 194 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2021: 56). Please read the important guidance on the use of the West Berkshire HER data. For these purposes and all other commercial enquiries, please contact the Archaeology team and complete our online HER enquiry form.

Summary

Unlisted house of at least early 19th century date, associated with the nearby railway station

Monument Type(s):

• DETACHED HOUSE (18th century to Late 19th century - 1751 AD? to 1880 AD)
• STATION MASTERS HOUSE? (Victorian to Late 19th century - 1840 AD? to 1900 AD?)

Full Description

A small detached house stands on the corner of Shooters Hill road and the approach to the railway station in Pangbourne. No 1 Shooters Hill is of two storeys, painted white with a half hipped tiled roof. It has a symmetrical frontage with a central door with porch and a blocked window above, and four windows and two end chimney stacks.

The house is shown on the First Edition Ordnance Survey mapping of 1879 <1> but its appearance is of an earlier building, perhaps late 18th century. After the arrival of the railway in Pangbourne, the house was used for the station master's accommodation (personal communication, Lynn Davies). It is not a listed building. An adjacent pair of semi-detached cottages (Nos 3 and 5 Shooters Hill) with a slate roof are likely to have been built at a later date, and are also associated with the station and its staff.
