Destroyed barn, Potts Valley Three years ago this barn had a roof and looked to be in reasonable condition <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2035131">NY7110 : Track into Potts Valley</a> Now the roof is gone and the flags and slates are being crated up for disposal. One large roof beam was lying nearby but fire (recent judging by the smell and ashes) seems to have destroyed everything else inside. Note the similarly roofless barn on the opposite bank. Just up the track is <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1106163">NY7009 : Potts</a> farmstead, similarly abandoned and decaying.
