Ash beside the lane to the sewage works The Lane between Keeston Bridge and Keeston is wider between the start at the junction with the A487 and the sewage works, obviously for traffic to the works. Compare with this as the lane rises toward Keeston: <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6968524">SM9018 : Lane-side ash</a>. Also look how the more sheltered position allows a more rounded crown in the ash tree.

Quaker burial ground Lambston Within the inner enclosure of the double-walled burial ground only four grave markers are visible and they are in a poor state of repair. (Other burials may be unmarked.) The whole area is covered with ivy, brambles, ferns and other undergrowth making it impossible to investigate. The state of the place may reflect a lack of maintenance during the Covid pandemic. It's isolated amid fields some distance from Lambston village.

Beech avenue at the Quaker burial ground An avenue of beech trees runs between the outer and inner entrances to the double walled enclosure. The building on the left in this image is The Mount, whose sympathetic owner, a Mr Bateman, originally donated the land for the burial ground to the Quaker community of Haverfordwest in the C17th.

Wall bank around burial ground In this view, from the entrance to New Park farm, it appears that the outer boundary of the burial ground's double enclosure is an earth bank, presumably with stone work inside. The ivy-clad stone walls enclosing the burial ground itself can be seen beyond.
