The village sign on the triangle of green between Wick Road and Park Lane. |
The signage next to the village sign on the Park Lane/Wick Road green is useful and flexible. |

The dog bin appears to have been used for other purposes, but even if not the whole idea is somewhat graceless on this pleasant green area. |
The footpath sign off Park Lane, across to the A12, and not particularly noticeable. |
'Alefounders' in Park Lane is a delight in shade. |

Three views near the junction with Birchfield Road. This is a very busy junction (by Langham standards) and the narrowing of the road in Wick Road, seen on the right, is one of two cases of a designed-in hazards - the other being the road narrowing outside Spencer's Piece. |

Attractive gardens and a pavement separated from the road by greensward. |
The ditch in School Road is crossed by railway sleepers; its usually dry nature has led to its colonisation by a variety of flowering plants. |

More views of the pond area and a general view of the wood to the north. As the trees are so young the whole feel of the field is still very open and light. |

Towards the new dualled road, with Mersey Homes on the left. |
At Runkins Corner horses are kept for recreation and a show-jumping circuit has been set up. A map plot of 'horseyculture' in the area might be instructive. |
