New agricultural building at Middle Garth I think it may be a chicken shed, there's a small grain silo at the right hand end, I believe there are others on the farm.

Drainage from the fields I think a ditch runs down the edge of the field behind the hedge shown in <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7052968">SO0994 : Track to Middle Garth and the fields beyond</a>, it falls into a sort of concrete basin, is piped to here, then flows into a rather battered roadside water company drain, marked for repair.

Lane to Gethin I've never noticed a post code on a road sign before. It seems like a good idea, unlike many rural post codes, this one only applies to the two properties down this lane.
