Derelict pub on Baston Outgang Road It appears as if the former New Inn on the corner of Baston Outgang Road and Cross Road was being restored as a dwelling. Certainly the rubbish piled in front of it as seen on Street View seems to have been cleared and the roof has been repaired.

Flooded Gravel Pit This area is covered with these flooded gravel pits, what remains when gravel extraction has moved on, but getting a view of them from the road is frustratingly difficult. I don't think public access is allowed but there is a lifebuoy here just in case.
