Fire Hydrant Signs
This house has two Fire Hydrant Signs, the one we are more familiar with in yellow, and an old blue and white enamel one, higher up.
(For those unfamiliar with these signs, the top figure is the diameter in millimetres of the water main supplying the hydrant, the bottom figure is the distance the hydrant is away from the sign in metres. In some places the hydrant signs remain in imperial units - inches diameter and feet away.)

Gated pathway, with a Boundary Stone
The Boundary Stone is at the bottom right of the gate, with just a large S inscribed on it. The sign behind the gate says NO CYCLING, as this footpath leads to a children's playground.

Old sewerage venting post and Boundary Stone
At the junction of Filkins Lane and Chapel Lane, stands this old sewerage venting post. It was recently restored, but I'm not sure if it still serves its original purpose.
The building on the left is now apartments, but a part of it was used as a chapel at one time, hence, Chapel Lane.
