Last week’s Mystery Photograph was taken in Farmborough. Did you recognise where we were?

Thank you to the following readers who sent in their correct guesses:

Simon Chard, Mandi Hills, Val Rogers, Paul Hancock and Roy Barnes.

Congratulations also go to Rob Wilkins who guessed correctly and said: “I believe the Mystery Photograph this week is taken at The Street,  Farmborough where it meets the junction at the bottom - Poor Hill.”

Farmborough is a village and civil parish featuring a history that spans many centuries, with its roots deeply embedded in the agricultural and rural development of the region.

It was a key part of the somerset coalfield with two pits existing in the area, and also belonged to the ‘Keynsham Hundred’ a long time ago in the 1800s. ‘Hundreds’ were geographic divisions used for administrative purposes in parts of England, Wales, and some other countries influenced by English governance. They were created for organising the collection of taxes, holding local courts, and maintaining law and order and typically contained multiple villages or towns and covered an area that could be managed effectively by local officials.

In 1984, a significant archaeological find consisting of Iron Age coins discovered in the village - The Farmborough Hoard. They are believed to date from around the late 1st century BC to the early 1st century AD, and consist of gold staters (large, high-value coins that were used for major transactions and possibly for ceremonial purposes), silver units (smaller than staters, these coins were used for more routine transactions and trade) and bronze coins (these were likely used for everyday purchases and local trade).
