Wallingford Riverside Park

The paddling pool has gone replaced by water spurts that come on for the children playing in them, the swimming pool has changed little apart from fencing off the river for mooring thus enclosing the swimming pool, no more free dips if you moored your boat by the steps like we did as apprentices.

Still Farming at Newnham Farm

In between the houses of Crowmarsh Gifford and a new estate being built beside the by pass to the south, the fields of Newnham Farm are still agricultural. For the time being.

A view over the flooded riverside park taken from the eastern end of Wallingford Bridge. This area floods regularly but the long, many arched bridge crosses it all safely as it has for centuries.

Empty Charging points

These new charging points for electric cars have only just been installed in the Cattle Market car park in Wallingford. They obviously see a need and are making an effort. Twelve bays replace the original four that were nearby.
