Two tractors at work The tractor on the right appears to be ploughing and harrowing in one pass, with an offset harrow working its previous ploughing pass. That on the left seems to be raking and seeding in one pass, with a front mounted rake.

Feeder from Antingham Ponds Looking towards Antingham Lodge, part of which was once a water powered bone mill on the pond dam. The channel here provided water for another lower bone mill situated close to the terminal basin of the North Walsham and Dilham Canal, as well as supplying the canal. There seems to be very little water even in winter. There was never any navigable connection of this channel to the canal, as it was at a higher level, above the lower mill. It has been stated (without source references) that this channel was 'only navigable by shallow draught lighters', and there was a 'fleet of lighters' working between the two bone mills. This seems very unlikely, there being inadequate traffic, and certainly by the map of 1885 the layout of the waterways involved meant only very short, narrow boats would stand a hope of a passage, even if they could get under the low bridges.

Antingham level crossing The crossing road is Southrepps Road, but the far warning lights have two heads pointing in different directions, as Pond Road (the viewpoint) forms a tee junction very close to the crossing.
