Fosse Farm
Much of the farm has already been demolished, and presumably these buildings are also effectively derelict as there will be no access when the new road is open.

Windpump at Fosse Farm
Close-up of the top of the pump. The back vane has been sprung round 90 degrees so that the sails do not catch the wind.

Windpump at Fosse Farm
Various surrounding buildings, including the farmhouse, have been demolished but at this stage the windpump survives. It would be nice to think that it could be dismantled and re-erected as there are now so few survivors.

Close-up of the top of the pump. The back vane has been sprung round 90 degrees so that the sails do not catch the wind. The pump appears to have been painted black at some stage, and stands out in silhouette.

A46 at Fosse Farm
Showing the old windpump, a rare survivor, which sadly stands in the middle of the new alignment of the A46. The farmhouse used to stand between the pump and the main road.

Farm track and bridleway near Car Colston
This is the former A46 roadway – Fosse Way.
The tarmacked section is the southbound lane of the old roadway, the northbound lane being covered with soil to make it more suitable for horses. The new A46 is to the right of the fence.

Farm track and bridleway near Car Colston
This is the former A46 roadway – Fosse Way. The tarmacked section is the southbound lane of the old roadway, the northbound lane being covered with soil to make it more suitable for horses, with a few sections left bare as passing places. Just visible are the remains of a white arrow from the old road surface. The new A46 is to the left of the fence.
The parched nature of the bridleway side is the result of two months with very little rain where the old tarmac is only thinly covered.
