Bullets in the sugarbeet: next to the River Trent at Hazelford Ferry
A bullet is unearthed and painstakingly cleaned in a soggy field covered in chopped greenery and the mangled remains of a sugarbeet crop. Other treasures have included musket balls. On the east bank of the Trent is Syerston Airfield, but more distant military history includes the positioning of Cromwell's troops in that area, hence the interesting pickings.

Hazelford Ferry
Winch and slipway at Hazelford Ferry. The first recorded ferry here was 1275 and it remained an important crossing until Gunthorpe Bridge http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/652879 was built in 1875 and it finally stopped c1945.
The winch was used to haul the ferry boat out of the water up the slipway

Footpath to Hazelford
The footpath provides little of a shortcut, but at least avoids the need to clash with vehicles on the road. The large building was once a pub/hotel for travellers using the ferry but is now a residential care home.

Site of Hazelford
A crossing point of the Trent from prehistoric times. Initially as a ford - the Trent being shallower prior to dredging and the construction of weirs - and then by ferry up until the early 20th century.

Parish enclave
The notice reads, rather portentously, as follows:
"Bleasby Parish Council has taken possession of the land fenced off in this area for the benefit of Bleasby Parish residents.
Any persons wishing to discuss this matter are advised to contact the Parish Council Clerk."
Maybe there was some objection to the appropriation, but the area is at least perfectly accessible, and as can be seen, an informative board has been installed. It's just a shame that such a dense hedge has been planted to remove the view over the river itself.
