Curtis Fields, Weymouth
A haven of green fields (but under threat of development) within Weymouth's suburbs. From this point at the southern edge of the square, there is a dramatic view over the town and Weymouth Bay to the East Dorset coast beyond. View looking north-east.

Footpath to Markham Avenue
Surrounded by housing is a large area of old fields that has avoided being built over. It doesn't appear to be a park as such, just grassland and trees.

Weymouth: boundary stone on Chickerell Road
This stone stands near the corner of Markham Avenue and is inscribed: BOROUGH OF WEYMOUTH AND MELCOMBE REGIS. T.H. WILLIAMS, MAYOR
It is undated, but T.H. Williams was mayor of the borough in 1896, so it presumably dates from around then (UPDATE: I have located another similar stone which shows that the date on this one has eroded away: Image]).
The borough has extended outwards since then, as is evident from the boundary symbol on modern-day maps.

An odd round post in the park
At the edge of the playing surfaces of The Marsh is this concrete pillar and large manhole cover. The pillar is partly open and lined with grilles, and has running water inside it somewhere. Presumably this is water management in The Marsh - the clue might be in the name.
