Barn on Dean Lane

The barn could do with some attention to its roof and walls, but is still in active use, judging by the manger outside.

Drilling on Berry's Lane

The drilling rig bears the legend "J P Whitter - water well engineers". As there are lots of springs on the hillside at about this level, that makes sense, although I did wonder whether it could be fracking exploration.

Entrance to Bowley Scout Camp

Viewed from the public bridleway, Dean Lane. You can just about see that the French flag is flying at half mast in the camp, in tribute to the victims of the Islamist attack in Paris a few days earlier.

Tower near Bowley Scout Camp

I don't know whether there is any connection between this concrete tower and the scout camp the other side of Dean Lane, but there might be. It would be the logical place for their sewage treatment, close to the brook, but why such a tall tower if so? See also SD7333 : Tower near Bowley Scout Camp.
