An open area to the north of the A259 in 2005. The thin, horizontal buff line on the right of the picture is the South Saxons Nature Reserve, a wetland, and the buildings beyond were of Filsham Valley College, now the St. Leonards Academy. The plant on the left between the hawthorn and the brambles is an osier (Salix viminalis), a willow often used in the past for basket making
