Dudmoor Lane, caravans
Like other local marginal suburban/rural sites, property seems either to be caravans or wooden buildings; perhaps planning regulations are laxer for them.

Standard 10 saloon on the east side of St Catherine's Hill c.1965
Whatever possessed my late father to drive up St Catherine's Hill, and then to photograph the "crime scene" with the Avon Valley as a backdrop, I have absolutely no idea. It would certainly be frowned upon today, and I'm not at all sure if it is possible to do any longer. He was obviously very proud of his car.

Town Common, fire beaters
Like all Dorset commons, Town Common is susceptible to fire damage, accidental or deliberate. It has rained heavily recently; the apparent stream in the centre is in fact a footpath. In the distance, Blackwater Hill.
