Barn Farm, Walton on Trent

Superb old barn and out buildings, the pulley to bring bags of corn etc. into the first floor door is still in place, I don't suppose it will be long before the developers get hold of this building

Oilseen rape, I think, just coming into flower on the Trent flood plain beside the railway line southwest of Burton. The houses are on the A38 Lichfield Road. Behind them are industrial buildings at Newbold Quarry beyond the Trent and Mersey Canal.

Unfinished Dwelling near Walton-on-Trent

This half-built house overlooking the River Trent has stood here for at least a couple of decades. It was planned to be a couple's dream home but it was never completed.
