Pedigree Holsteins on Hilders Farm

The board on the farm building on Ide Hill Road makes a point of this cattle breed, so this is presumably what these are!

Cooperâs Corner: postbox № TN14 209

This Victorian postbox is set into a pillar-like addition projecting from the frontage of a building which I think was once a pub: there is a 'PH' marked here on some large-scale maps and the Royal Mail's listing names this postbox as Frog & Bucket so I am assuming that is what the pub was called.

A small stream on the way to Bough Beech Reservoir
