Carp fishing pool near Brockton This tranquil pool seems to be a Carp fishery. It is also home to many birds in early April; Canada Geese honk as we pass, Coots call and  a pair of ducks fly past trying to land.

Part of the Grange This is marked on the OS map as Larden Grange and may be previously have also been known as Brockton Grange but it is landscaped effectively against the public road and it is only possible to glean the merest glimpse of part of the crenellated coach house.

Easthope Mill Apparently Easthope Mill dates from the Georgian period, maybe around 1810, and hasn't been much interfered with since; a fine rare survivor. Now obviously a smallholding or farm.

The rear of Easthope Mill Behind the old mill house is a remnant of an old dry stone wall running to the rear plot boundary of the mill and beside that the present owner has built up a supply of firewood. A few old harrows lie protecting some old fencing wire rolls and a discarded bath tub-cum-drinking trough is being stored there too.

Pool near Easthope The signage has long been erased by the weather but this man-made lake is a haven for birdlife in early April; a pair of Canada Geese seem to be thinking of nesting here (the male honking at us as we passed) and coot and ducks also were disturbed by our passing. Obviously they were not expecting visitors.
