Ram and ewes

Sheep in Cowham Meadow

Sheep have been turned into Cowham Meadow before all of the grass has been cut for hay. Normally the grass has been cut for hay in late May or early July, but this year the summer has been unsettled which has delayed the harvest.

Old railway line from Tewkesbury's first station

Now a footpath, this was the course of the railway from Ashchurch to Tewkesbury's first railway station on a cramped site between Oldbury Road and High Street. It was replaced in 1864 by a later station, with the two lines joining in the middle distance of this image.
