Cold War & Nuclear Threat

What followed? First the Cold War and the nuclear threat, then consumerism, globalisation and concern for the environment.

Old dangers didn't go away. 

Disaster struck in April 2001 when foot and mouth disease was confirmed on the morning of 12^th on a local farm.   It was devastation for the farmers, and the community, and lead to many sad months. Uniformed soldiers were back on Membury soil tending to the destruction and burning of the carcases. 

The days go by, and life goes on, the sheep and cattle are back and graze the fields once more, the medieval mill is now a trout farm, and the award winning shop and Post Office thrives on more than local support; it also offers tea, coffee, chocolate, and quality cakes in a relaxed village setting.
