Country pub of the week: The Mutton at Hazeley Heath, Hampshire

Those who wish to drive to the Mutton at Hazeley Heath may do so, but that would mean missing out on Hook railway station, which is a gentle place. There is a mini library, fairly standard for smaller transport hubs, especially those in rural settings, but there is also a notice from the local history society providing details about the area.

Did you know that in 1953 the Queen stopped at Hook on her way to visit RAF Odiham? Or that it was once staffed by no less than one station master, two booking clerks, one parcel porter, one goods foreman, three luggage porters, three signalmen, and two lamp boys?
