Downs Barn 13 years after my first visit I first photographed this barn in December 2005 <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/92993">SP0918 : Downs Barn</a>, returning again eight years later in December 2013 <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3793483">SP0918 : Downs Barn</a>. Here is the same scene again just over five years later in February 2019, recording further dilapidation with the roof in a greater state of collapse. The beech trees are still there however a pile of local stone has appeared since my last visit. I commented in December 2013 I was surprised that one else had visited this grid square, I am even more so now, almost fourteen years since the founding of the Geograph website and still no one else other than me has recorded this square.
