Bus stop and seat on West Hill
A new patch of pavement and railings are a courtesey for passengers, as is somewhere to rest. Hopefully the driver knows this as the request sign is being smothered by grass.

West Hill
A view looking east towards Whitley. The tall pole at left is a sewer ventilation pipe and appears to have lost the ornamented top that these things normally have.

One of many water sources
Next to this pump (a Joseph Evans product) is a plaque that relates the story of public water supply in Atworth and Purlpit. It counts this as one of six public pumps in the area; they supplemented the 76 private boreholes that existed until a piped supply arrived after WWII.

A wet seat, not a hot seat
The bench stands right in front of the old village pump. Presumably the need to rest outweighs the thirst.

Telephone box, Purlpit
A K6 type telephone box in the Purlpit area of Whitley.
In 1935, the Post Office commissioned a new kiosk from Sir Giles Gilbert Scott to celebrate the Jubilee of King George V. The K6 Jubilee Kiosk, as it is known, was similar to the K2 box, being made of cast iron and painted red but was 25% lighter in weight. By the end of the 1930s there were 20,000 K6 telephone boxes in use all over the UK.
