@Wimblowdriver always drive through there on outings as like to avoid the motorway in the landrovers some times we stop for a pint
Have they still got the picture of the devils leg on the wall in the Blue Boar? it was used in episodes of Dr Who in the sixties or early seventies but can't remember what they called the pub in the programme. The picture was used as the pub sign.
Was a nice little village but is now much more of a 'rat-run' from Newbury to Swindon avoiding the M4.
A couple of centuries ago it boasted a renowned 'smithy' who made crotal bells used on the working horse harnesses etc. We have one of them which we dug up in our garden in Eastbury, in the valley. We lived in Aldbourne for about 3 months whilst our house purchase went through but we managed to rent the house which was the start of the Christmas choir tour - at 3 am on Christmas day!!
Just goggled it. It was called The Cloven Hoof.
The smithy was still working when I was a little Wimblowdriver.
'The Daemons' that was filmed in 1971 with the Blue Boar taking a starring role as the Cloven Hoof...
Our world is smaller than I think
We knew the pub well but as we left the area 20 years ago, I cannot say if it is still there. Certainly THE PUB IS NOT THE SAME OLD PLACE.

Today I has been mostly stockpiling sand and cement, ready for a bit of bricklayering while I am confined to not going out much due to the current crisis thing. More stockpiling tomorrow before Wickes run out / get told by Boris to shut doors etc.
I gotten couple of offcuts if you run out
