- Synopsis
- These pages show a map of a farm shown at different times. It is a multi-page image set on two pages. There is a locator dot shown on each page, which will be at the top left when the image is the correct way up. Both images are surrounded by an image border. Farm and farmland in the 1940s: The farm buildings are in the bottom centre of the page. There is a narrow lane coming from the bottom right of the page diagonally up, past the farmyard on the left and the farmhouse on the right to the top left of the page. Just before the farmhouse a second lane goes right to the top right of the page. The lanes are narrow and wiggly. From the top left of the page a stream goes down the page in a very meandering course. It flows through a boggy water meadow, under the lane via a narrow humpback bridge to the left centre of the page. There is a wood on the right of the lane where the lane appears in the bottom of the page. Following the lane up there are two trees on the right and a small wood in the corner of a field just before the farmyard. There are other trees dotted around in the fields next to hedges. There are three more woods in the bottom left quarter of the page. There are four cart horses shown as small ovals in the small field to the left of the farmyard. The farmyard buildings are low and made traditionally from red brick with slate roofs. Apart from the water meadow the fields are all small. Farm and farmland in the 2000s: This image shows the same piece of land sixty years later. The lane coming from the bottom of the page is now a wider road with some of the bends taken out. The lane going to the top left is slightly wider and straighter. The narrow humpback bridge has been replaced with a wider, flat concrete bridge. The farm is in the same place but the farmhouse has been extended and the farmyard is bigger. The old farm buildings have been replaced with two large barns made from prefabricated sheets. There are two round silos and a silage compound of two units. The water meadow has been drained and reclaimed as farmland. The meandering stream has been realigned as a faster flowing drainage ditch. The fields are larger, many hedges and trees have been removed. In the centre top of the page a field has a small road going into it. This is now a campsite. There are a number of different sized, brightly coloured tents shown.
