More about this scene

Apart from a plethora of now silent industrial mills, now mostly put to other uses, the steep lanes of Nailsworth are lined with the cottages of former cloth workers. The streets are steep. The steepest, the appropriately named Nailsworth Ladder, is probably 1 in 2.

I spent most of my childhood in Newmarket, playing in the wood and on Bunting Hill shown in the photo with the old Quarry. Every year the hill would be set fire, the fire being lit at the top to burn slowly down, this was to encourage new grass to grow to feed goats that grazed there in the summer months.
