Sheep on Jephson's Farm across the Avon, Myton, Warwick

The Lombardy Poplars follow the course of the River Leam SP3065 : Poplars on the Leam. Its confluence with the Avon is out-of-shot left. The farm is bordered by rivers, housing estates and a railway, and is crossed by power lines and the canal. It produces a crop of lambs every year and nothing else.

Unusually for English houses, some of these have shutters which are not merely decorative but actually work; see the house on the left, which had all three upstairs windows facing the road shuttered (only the right hand one is visible).
