Domestic sheep
There were just a handful of sheep and a couple of new season lambs in a small enclosure next to a house on the edge of Turvey village, so presumably kept as pets rather than commercially.

Wall plaque in May Road, Turvey

Looking down towards the village from a vantage point on the minor road /bridleway to Hardmead, with a height difference of about 30 metres. The mediaeval tower of All Saints church Image is clearly visible.

Standpipe in Turvey
I originally described this as a fire hydrant, but another contributor has sensibly suggested that it would be better described as a standpipe, intended for providing drinking water rather than firefighting.
This example is by Glenfield & Kennedy of Kilmarnock, a very respected name in waterworks fittings (their original works was demolished in 1982: see http://www.geographyhigh.connectfree.co.uk/prinayrskilmarnockglen.html , but the name Glenfield lives on as part of the AVK Group).
