River Stort in Lower Green, Langley

This is the ford across the River Stort on the road known as Waterwick Hill in Lower Green, and, compared with Andrew's photo TL4334 : Ford, Langley Lower Green, the river certainly has a lot of water flowing in it. The extent of the recent inundation can be seen from the flood trash line on the road on the far side of the ford.

Roper's Lane

This green lane is used quite a bit by the horse-riding fraternity, as well as walkers. It links the hamlets of Langley Lower Green and Meesden Lower Green.
