04 November 2024 - I’m looking for Rose Cottage - are you local?
How many of us who wander the village streets haven’t been accosted by a lost white-van driver trying to deliver something?
You may recall that several years ago we had a listing of house names for the main roads (Sutton Road and Plaisters Lane) - it was displayed inside the notice board on The Cartshed. Useful - if you knew it was there. An updated version replaced it but it faded rather quickly.
Well the Sutton Poyntz Society have splashed out to have a bigger and better one printed which will be displayed on the back of the phonebox.
Enormous thanks to Mike Haine who did the amazing graphics (with a bit of help from J), and to SwiftSigns of Weymouth who are currently doing the printing and will be installing it in the next few days.

ps - the phonebox was installed with the solid back facing to the right-hand side and the glass left-hand side facing the brick wall!
pps - we know that the first thing you will look at will be your house - and someone somewhere will find a mistake. All we can say is “sorry and too bad!”
ppps - there are three “Rose Cottages” in and around the village, could you help the van driver?
