We are looking along Mill Road (North), which forms byway open to all traffic (or B.O.A.T.) number K22 - it used to extend along Mill Road (South) to Castle Lane before the latter segment was incorporated into the modern housing estate as part of the public highway. As can be seen here, it is tarmacked at this northern end but it is not a terribly good surface and is more akin to a track than to a road. The Shetland pony prefers the grass at the roadside, enough that he's putting his head through a barbed-wire fence to get at it.
