A bench by the signposts
A congregation of country roads between Ashwick and Oakhill are marked by a signpost. The metal bench beside them bears a memorial to a local man who died at only 29. As your Geograph correspondent was taking the shot a friendly woman in a car drew up and inquired. She was the sister of the man concerned!

Pound Lane, a.k.a. Laundry Lane
This road near Ashwick is Pound Lane; it seems to also be known (historically?) as Laundry Lane. Just down the way is a property called The Old Laundry. The old village pound is just behind the camera, incidentally. Just out of shot to the left is a property today but over a century ago was a Unitarian church burial ground.
