Westoning : The Clock Tower This Clock Tower is well endowed with informative tablets and plaques. It was originally erected by "J.G. Coventry Campion and his wife" (though I doubt that they personally laid the bricks) to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1897. It was renovated in both 1975 and 2003 the latter perhaps to mark 50 years since Queen Elizabeth II's coronation.

The M1 viewed from Long Lane The M1 sweeps close to Long Lane here. A nearby footpath goes under the motorway by a subway. The intervening field looks dry and parched, but I think it has been left fallow as what is growing does not look like a crop !

Fields off Long Lane A view from Long Lane between Toddington and Tingrith. The fields here look to have been harvested already and everywhere is looking very dry after the hot weeks of June and July. The bonfire smoke is emanating from the adjacent gridsquare.
