Halesfield 1 and Piper's Coppice

The subject of this photo lies slightly north of Image, and shows another part of the former Piper's Coppice area. This was once a working woodland to the east of Kemberton Colliery, which occupied the ground roughly where Image now stands. Fragments of the wood, and tghe adjoining Hem Coppice, remain in places nearby, but it's clearly a shadow of what is shown on the maps of the 1920s.
