Note the church has a steeple at this date. It was later removed about 1960.

I was going to say that this is not Hursley although there are clear similarities. All Saints church does not currently have a spire and I thought that it never had, since John Keble rebuilt it in the 19th Century. But on closer inspection, I can see the blacksmith's shop near the Holm oak and the Post Office. I also recognise the cottage with the tall chimney (to the right of your A3090 pin)

All Saints Church had a steeple until around 1960. There are many early photographs of the church with its steeple and Stan Rowdon's book "A Portrait of Hursley" has a photograph of the steeple being removed.

The church spire is also visible in the last photo of this sequence

Well done again Dylan. How did you find this one. I thought it was near Alresford but didn't look far enough.

From the neg sequence, it appeared to be Hampshire. Hursley House (adjacent negative) is clearly a very substantial and important classical building. I Googled Hampshire stately homes and country houses. Wikipedia has a list "Country Houses in Hampshire". It was straightforward to work down the list using Google "satellite view" until I found a match. If it had been a garden shed, it would have been more difficult.
