6 south from Basingstoke
Looking down into the Hare Warren/Ashley Warren valley. The foot of a tall pylon can be seen and also, if you look closely, one of the smaller ones. The track is the public footpath that climbs onto Ladle Hill.

Another pair of fancy brick arches which flank the road into one of Guildford's exclusive residential streets. Near to London Road station, this is commuterland.

Whilst they are something of a rarity, there are a few trees on the plain.

Standing in the camping field on the southern side of The Chantry Woods, looking due East back to St Martha's Hill. You can make out the roof of the church among the trees. Taken on New Year's Day 2007.

The area of Minehead on the western side along the old Porlock Road is known as The Parks. There is indeed a long thin park that runs parallel to the road on the southern side. From the eastern end the pathway through this park is accessed via this mossy little bridge. The bridge is crossing a quite fast-flowing brook (see SS9646 : Brook & Footbridge, The Parks, Minehead) which is flowing West-to-East (right to left in the photo) having been fed by streams rising to the west of Bratton.

Copse Lane is a restricted byway which forks round the righthand edge of these fir trees and then comes to an end. The lane shown continues straight on into the woodland.

The centrepiece of the Somerset Space Walk. I am trying to calculate the "scale" of the model. I walked as far as Jupiter which was about a mile away from the sun, but in reality it's almost 500 million miles, so I'd say 1:500 million but I have heard 1:50 million quoted.

One of the two Quarter Boys with a Quarter Bell - so called because they are rung every quarter hour - one bell at quarter past, both bells at the half hour and three chimes at quarter to the hour.

The first day of the New Year and sleet and hailstones started to fall just as I found the position to take this photo!

Halfway up the section of The Drive between Church Road and Eaton Road are these two decorative Victorian houses. The first, 20 The Drive, is famous for being the family home of Ivy Compton Burnett between 1897 and 1914. The second is Arundel House with its mock gothic towers. Both are now sets of flats.

This behaviour (standing perfectly still for a long time) is known as "shading", even though here the ponies are standing in the midday sun. In the summer this is usually to avoid flies which aren't such a problem out in the open where it is windy.

Eugenius Birch designed the 838 foot iron pier at a cost of £21,600. It opened on 11th August 1880. Covered shelters and a bandstand were added to the pier-head in 1885, followed by extensions in 1894 and 1905.
The south end of the beach as seen here lies within the grid square, as does the photographer
