Picture Post 6 - The Lanes

The Hollow, the most sunken of the sunken lanes.
The telegraph pole gives an indication of the height
of the embankment.

The lane and the house. Excuse the poor contrast,
it's what comes of using a fourth generation
reproduction.

The bottom of Bag Lane. The parish council call 
this bit of sloping ground 'the village green,' rather
optimistically, I think.

 
The southern end of Church Lane.

On the street where I live.
'I have often walked...'

Bag Lane, aka Bag End. Sorry, had to.

It is truly beautiful there, but you know that.

we also have a Can Alley, and my lane is called Lid Lane. Never known why...

Yes, I do.

Wow. You live in a gorgeous area.

It's just off the southern edge of the Pennine upland, Victoria. To the north are hills (sometimes snow-capped in early winter,) to the south is the flat Trent valley, so it's a quintessentially English landscape that undulates. Rather nice.
