Shefford Stream by Spring Meadows
A small tributary of the Lambourn, which is flowing well this year after a very wet winter. Spring Meadows is the nearby street name. Whether that's for the stream or the season I'm not sure.

Descent to Great Shefford
A footpath descends to the village. The tractor lines indicate that the crop was planted at right angles to the slope of the hill so the path must have been cleared at the time of planting.

Pumping at Great Shefford 2
This is the outfall of the pump installation shown in Image
The Shefford Stream is culverted beneath part of the village, but the structures are insufficient for high flows and flooding has happened in the past.
Some of the water is being pumped out of the stream into a pipeline that bypasses the village.

Who's moved my shop?
It's OK, the shop is on the other side of the road; this is just a convenient place for the sign, at the edge of a large arable field.
