The harvested beet has been put into a giant heap, and is then conveyed to heavy beet lorries that take their load whist still on the highway, in Greyhound Hill. This speeds matters no end and eliminates the muddy roads that go with beet harvesting. The one downside is, however, holdups for traffic every time a lorry fills up! |

Overlooking the Stour valley, part of the woodland called Primrose Wood has been cut back ... to open views towards the waterworks and beyond. A new track cuts across the footpath track here, and there is a steep bank to hop up to regain the footpath. |
