Geocache Description:

Theale featured in the film The Borrowers. The Old Brewery (the Dairy in the film) was used during the scenes when the two borrower children escape from their home. When the filming company arrived in Theale, houses had their garage doors painted and the house occupants needed to leave their homes at 7.30am and were not to return until 6pm, presumably though they were rewarded with some paper stuff for their troubles. Shops, offices and pubs along the High Street had their signage changed and were made to look olde worlde. Morris Minors were parked on driveways, old style vehicles lined the High Street, it was fascinating to watch and like being in a time warp driving along the streets.

"The Borrowers are four-inch high "little people" who live under the floorboards. When the owner of the house they live in dies and evil realtor Ocious Potter wants to destroy the house to build luxury apartments on its place, they start to fight him with the help of the son of house owner, Pete."

"The four-inch-tall Clock family secretly share a house with the normal-sized Lender family, "borrowing" such items as thread, safety pins, batteries and scraps of food. However, their peaceful co-existence is disturbed when evil lawyer Ocious P. Potter steals the will granting title to the house, which he plans to demolish in order to build apartments. The Lenders are forced to move, and the Clocks face the risk of being exposed to the normal-sized world."

This cache can be found along a public footpath on the edge of Theale Golf Course.
