Farmland

Taken at the western edge of the grid square at reference SO85028 75636, at the junction of a rough farm track and bridleway, looking in a north-easterly direction. There are not so many geographical features publicly accessible in this square, although the pylon in the north-east section of the square is just visible.

A small lake situated on the edge of a large housing development. The lake is home to a variety of wildfowl and a popular venue for fishermen. The picture has been taken from the public footpath on the west side of the pool at SO 84732 74929.

Kidderminster

Taken from the minor road at SO 83515 76309, the photograph depicts the view looking north-west across the town centre of Kidderminster. This is a view which has changed considerably over the past four years during which time some of the former carpet factories have made way for new retail developments. Much of the town’s layout differs from its current representation on the OS map : the bus station and law courts now occupy different sites, and the river has been re-routed in order to accommodate a super-market car park.
