I am told that there was a ford outside, originally, where the brook crossed the road. It has long since been culverted.

I suppose it must have been a ford before the roadway, The only time I saw an amount of water cross the road was when the canal emptied. How can it be left in that state? Believe the pathway was used by the football team from the Miners Arms. The brook that killed the 'slough' for me, still bitter about it. |

He tells me that he gets info about the state of the water every so often and that the only things likely to survive now are sticklebacks. Surprisingly, there is quite a bit of waterbird life down there although I reckon the `land` birds (wrens, tits, blackbirds etc.) are less plentiful. |

Hello, I've been searching the internet trying to learn the history of our home, no.278, but don't seem to be able to find any.
Does anyone now anything about it?? Apparently it used to have a name??
The house is opposite Aldermans Green post office.
If the house is opposite the Miners, yes, I know who owned it. Anyone interested, then ask on here. Kava.![]() ![]() |
