Spot the difference I note that at least two other contributors have photographed this decaying barn, so anyone viewing this photo can compare with the others to see how many more panels of corrugated iron have disappeared from the roof. At least the manure heap looks considerably tidier.

Langton Road heading south east Langton Road is crossing Langton Wold at this point close to the 100m mark above sea level, but the main Wolds are in the distance and are of chalk. Langton Wold forms part of the gently rolling country on the west side of the chalk wolds, and here the underlying rock is a Jurassic limestone of the coralline oolite formation.
