Milestone at Cumber's Bank, near Hanmer

This old milestone is on the south west side of the A539 at Cumber's Bank, west of Hanmer. A milestone is recorded at this location on Ordnance Survey maps from 1873, and a bench mark was also indicated up to 1954, but I couldn't see one today - it may be below ground level? The inscription on the plate is Whitchurch 7 Rhuabon 10, which is an unusual spelling of the more usual Ruabon. See also SJ4439 : Milestone at Cumber's Bank, and the A539

"Amaizeing"

This fine field of maize seem to be a little late in development. However it enabled the photographer to capture the regimented planting lines.

Harbingers of Rain

Although the majority of the Friesian Herd and the clouds seemed to indicate that rain was imminent, one at least seemed to be interested in the photographers activities.
