Howe Beck A swollen Howe Beck, looking downstream from Cowland Lane. The water here is backing up from the nearby Swale, which is at a high [but not flood] level after heavy winter rains.

Cowfield Lane Or possibly Sandfield Lane, but one would guess that on this, the south side of the parish boundary, it will be Cowfield Lane. It looks as though NYCC have spent some money on resurfacing this lane recently as it used to have grass up the middle. Strange to spend the money here when there are so many more important roads full of potholes and patches.
