New planting at Hicks Lodge - 2
Looking north-west to the railway embankment on the left. The young saplings cover the whole area up to the railway except for a rough grass strip of clearing near the pathway. The open cast coal mine here is already a memory.

A Victorian postbox (disused), Moira
A compact iron post box, usually mounted on a telegraph pole or on a metal post, here embedded in a purpose-built brick column. Its era is indicated with the marking "V R" (Queen Victoria). The slot blocked with a steel plate, it has been clearly decommissioned in favour of a more recent post box (of the box-on-a-post variety), on the opposite side of the road.

Sweethill Lodge Farm, Moira
A very distinctive feature of this area, with few properties being of this age; it is not often that such stocky, robust and old-fashioned farmhouses are encountered today. The farm was the object of a substantial planning application, whereupon the farmland would be developed into housing and the farmhouse restored into a high-end property. This has not seen progress in the last seven years, so a farm it remains... probably for the better.

Ashby Road, Moira
Taken from the slightly elevated position on the railway bridge, looking in the Ashby-de-la-Zouch direction. The telegraph pole in the foreground is of the antiquated "pepperpot" insulator variety, and dates from 1952.
