In a small farm community on Locko Lane

The picture doesn't show the totally waterlogged, lush, grass squelching beneath our feet.

This view of Locko Lane Farm can be seen from the public footpath that follows the short entrance drive to the farm from Image (behind the viewpoint). At this point the footpath, which connects Locko Lane with the Image (northerly), bears to the left, through Image (There is no public access to the farm yard or to any of the farm buildings).

The field in this photograph is reclaimed, opencast workings. The footpath, from Image (behind the viewpoint) to Image (ahead in front of the houses), heads diagonally across the field toward the stile and then across the second field to another stile by the left of the Image and out into Locko Lane. Although, superficially well reclaimed land with realistic contours, the ground is poor. Drainage is very limited, the ground is hard and during wet weather, substantial amounts of water sit on the surface causing the top inch or so to be very muddy. The houses are the private dwellings of a small hamlet on Locko Lane.
