Water pillar near Pinkney Wood
Approaching Easton Town is an old water pillar - a public water source before piped supplies reached individual households. The ornate cast iron pillar is no longer in use, but see Image] for a look down inside.

The workings of a water pillar
A piped water supply was a new dawn in villages used to wells. This pillar has not been used for many years now and the top is missing, allowing a glimpse into the internal workings. The knob to the right would have been turned, rotating the horizontal gearwheel, which opened the valve lower down. The pulley would have had a weight hanging on it which, upon release of the knob, would bring the valve back to its closed position. It's also a handy place for snails to rest. See Image] for a look at the lion emblem.

Home Farm
This 'doll's house' version of a farm building is presumably for horses to jump. There are larger jumps of a more usual design in the field behind.

Signpost at Easton Town
The post bears some wooden arms which have individual plastic lettering, tacked on. However, the fractional mileage are separate cast metal affairs, probably a left-over from when the whole arm was cast.
