Reclaimed Field Near East End Green Herts Looking like the American Prairie with a large sky and baked earth this is a view of a reclaimed field on what was once a quarry. Last year it was sown with wheat and produced a good crop but it lies fallow this year.

Panshanger Park Until very recently this used to be rolling parkland with many old oaks. It is now owned by Lafarge Aggregates, who have their SE England HQ here. It seems they have been unable to resist the sand and gravel on their doorstep. This little spinney is the last island of beauty amid the ravaged landscape.

Poplars Green View towards the B1000 on the road past Panshanger Aerodrome to the A414. The trees hide the large triangular junction with the B1000 at the bottom. The field on the left has been divided into 3 with the lowest part possibly in use as a smallholding.
