Summary

Description
English: Shitterton: thatched cottage and postbox The 1798337 stands outside an attractive thatched cottage in Shitterton village.

The name of Shitterton was embarrassing enough to the Ordnance Survey that it dropped the H on its maps and called it Sitterton about 20 years ago. I note from get-a-map that the 1:50,000 currently still refers to it as Sitterton but the 1:25,000 map has restored the H.

Update in March 2008: I notice that the H has now also been restored at the 1:50,000 scale as well!
