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

Summary
Unlisted pair of semi-detached houses of probable mid 19th century date, associated with the nearby railway station
Monument Type(s):
Full Description
A pair of small semi-detached cottages are located next to a detached house which stands on the corner of Shooters Hill road and the approach to the railway station in Pangbourne. Nos 3 and 5 Shooters Hill are of two storeys, painted white with a slate roof and central chimney. They have a symmetrical frontage each with a door and two windows which would probably have originally been sashed.
The detached house (No 1 Shooters Hill) and pair of cottages (3 and 5) are shown on the First Edition Ordnance Survey mapping of 1879 <1>. The cottages are likely to be of mid 19th century date, although the adjacent house is earlier. After the arrival of the railway in Pangbourne, the house was used for the station master's accommodation, and the cottages for other railway workers (personal communication, Lynn Davies). Nos 3 and 5 are not listed buildings.
