The old lane

Out for a walk one sunny evening. There's cricket practice round the corner, an old tractor rusting in the field and a barn of straw bales to my right. A timeless piece of old England?





Well, perhaps time is running out for this little corner... Behind me is the Newbury Bypass, and ahead is a housing estate. This little scene occupies the infill region between town and country. 

I suspect the local builders would no doubt like to drop ten thousand houses right here, if they could get permission and willing buyers.
