East Combe Farm and Farm Shop.

This could well be the smallest farm shop in the country, housed inside the white cupboard. When the photograph was taken there were lovely home made cakes and farm eggs for sale.

Stoneage Barton Farm.

A large pile of manure, plenty of corrugated iron, an undulating barn roof and no shortage of mud makes this a typical working farm. The farmhouse is the furthermost building.

Council Houses in Bishop's Lydeard.

These postwar local authority houses are amazingly well located. They are built around their own village green and the back gardens have uninterrupted views of the Quantock Hills. The estate is just on the northern fringe of Bishop's Lydeard, a sizeable village with plenty of facilities.
