Sheering

Proper village life, with Harlow on speed dial·Essex·East of England

Sheering has a Bishop's Stortford postal address, an Epping Forest council, a Harlow MP and a railway station named after Sawbridgeworth, which is a lot of borrowed identity for one village. Most people meet it at forty miles an hour on the way to somewhere with a bigger sign. The ones who stop tend to buy, then spend the next decade explaining to delivery drivers which county they actually live in.
