This sheep dipping scene is near the
ford at the bottom of Mill Hill. The small stream, which
now runs through the gardens to the east of Mill Hill,
has been dammed off for the purpose. This stream fed the watercress beds which are shown on the 1931 village map just below, and to the east, of the railway bridge on Mill Hill. |

This is in the market square with Weavers Farm
in the background. This plough could have been manufactured at the smithy in the village which was set-up to produce agricultural machinery. The business is shown on the 1886 village map to have been somewhere in the patch of land behind the Fuller's earth works. A signpost is still in this position, but without the lamp on top. |

This is, strictly, a school photograph with Mr Lowe, the headmaster, in charge. The barn is part of Church Farm. | |

I imagine that this is at the Hayes at the top of Bath Hill with the bridleway to White Oxmead in the background. |
