Old milestone Looking along the A631 towards Blyth Gate Lane, the new backing stone for the 1893/94 WRCC milestone can be appreciated.   Being on the narrow verge it does suffer from road splash on rainy days.

Abandoned Farm This farm looks as if it is abandoned now.  No doubt it will be converted into luxury living accommodation and its new tenants will then complain about the noise from the coal mine across the road.
