Farming Telegraph Poles

These telegraph poles are almost ready for harvesting just as soon as they grow the footpegs on the top. Hop poles really, I believe.

Start of the Bridleway by Hill Top Farm

The bridleway goes all the way down to a mill site and then on to Newhouse Farm.

Footpath to Highwood

Looking from a junction of five roads and paths, one of the paths goes across this field - now ploughed up and planted. Lying on the ground is the remains of a 3" X 3" wooden post - very similar to those indicating a public footpath.
