2008 : Limerick Lane near Beckington

As a young lad around 1950 I was walking along a lane such as this near Charfield in South Glos. when I came to a field hedge neatly cut this way, the farmer had left trees growing out of it about 20 or 30 yards apart. It was a hot and sunny July day and the shade was much appreciated. I mentioned this to an old gent standing in a gateway and he said "They trees aren't for shade you know, they have to be left to stop the devil running along the top of the hedge."
