The Footbridge at Welland Mill

A substantial footbridge over the Marlbank Brook. This was an important mill centuries ago with water dropping into the brook from a leet some 3 metres above (behind the camera).

Looking downstream from the footbridge over the stream. There is now very little left of the mill site: a leet and some brickwork where the water flowed to the mill wheel.

Myrtle Cottage, Drake Street, Welland

This used to be the old post office decades ago. It has been considerably and tastefully extended. Viewed from the footpath to the old Welland Mill site.

Young woodland in Welland

On the slope of Windmill Hill trees were planted some years ago on what had been pasture for centuries. The land is still quite open and enjoyed by pigs and sheep.

Hook Bank Mobile Home Park

The mobile home park has 37 residential homes and caters for the retired and semi-retired. Viewed from the footpath near the Anchor Inn. Link

The Anchor Inn

Viewed from the rear. The name of the pub derives from the pool hereabouts centuries ago known as The Lake. From the signs outside it has been recently taken over and is closed for refurbishment.

At one time this was the village post office. The EIIR post box is now the only reminder.

Dumped material near the B4208

The footpath to the site of the old Welland Mill is made quite difficult by the dump of material which has taken place over a number of weeks. The burnt material, on the left, appears to come from the Star Inn at Upton-upon-Severn which was subject to an arson attack. Link

This may be a legitimate dump of material as it is unlikely that fly tippers would leave a noticeboard bearing the name of the inn. I would prefer that the material didn't make access to the public right of way so awkward.

Stile on path to old Welland Mill site

The brook runs parallel to the path (to the right of the photograph) whilst the mill leat used to flow high up on the bank on the left of the field.

Welland Steam Rally - going like the gallopers

The young engine driver and his Savage centre engine are standing still while all is whirling furiously around them. This is the effect I was seeking. The gallopers were built by Tidmans but later fitted with a Savage centre engine (No. 638). There is also an organ engine that is no longer used. Owned by David Downs of Witham, Essex.
