More about this scene

Nailsworth may not be the most attractive town in the Cotswolds, but the student of industrial archaeology will find it a fascinating place to visit. For it was here that the ancient cloth trade of the area enjoyed a mechanised renaissance at the time of the Industrial Revolution.

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.
