Willow Shoots growing in Rows In this area there is considerable acreage of Willow plantations. The willow has been planted and allowed to grow, then cut off and loads of shoots have struck from the stumps, as can be seen. I wonder if they are used for basket making and craft work. Another example of a Farmer looking for more profitable crops, this area is quite wet so should suit the Willow.

The Old School House, Bradley To the right of this old school house is the village hall, which as John M. in his shot "Village Hall" states, "this looks as if it was originally a school." So perhaps they both went together.
