A telephone box still stands to the right of the turning - though of an updated design and no longer the once familiar red associated with public call boxes. |

The Off Licence stores stood at No.1 Paynters Hill, off
London Road, Vange. Following closure in the 1980s the building was demolished and the
Southview Park Surgery now stands on the site. Paynters Hill had originally been part of the course of London Road but sometime, possibly in the 1920s, London Road was re-routed to eliminate the bend and this section became a separate road. There is still a small section left at the eastern end (though not recognised by name on local maps) where two occupied cottages stand. The remaining area, including the site of the Vange War Memorial, is built over, with housing and a small neighbourhood centre at what is now Marsh View Court. The War Memorial that once stood at the top of the hill still exists, and can now be seen on the green in front of St. Chad's Church in Clay Hill Road, close to the Barge public house.
