Goff's Plantation

The Heath I had a meeting at East Hampshire District Council offices, and as I was early I took the opportunity of revisiting The Heath, my playground when I was a child.  No time for a walk but it looked inviting on a sunny spring day.  I see the cricket pitch is still there in the background.

View from Rival Moor Road The road to the East Hampshire District Council Offices at Penns Place goes along the edge of the housing.  To the south the view is across open farmland towards a solitary house at the southern end of Heath Road East.  I lived within 400 metres of here as a child so this visit, for a meeting, took me back.
