Dist:0.2km<br/>Not sure what this complex is - I assume some sort of industry rather than the farm which was here. So with the aid of the internet I discover it is a clothing design company, Mulberry.
**ADDENDUM**
Alex Gray informed by Email 28 Apr 06 "With reference to the above pic, it is Mulberry, the expensive hangbag people's main factory. They used to be based at the bottom of Bowden Hill, about 0.5 miles from the war memorial, moving to the larger premises a few years ago. Hope this helps!"

Dist:0.3km<br/>Near the end of Thickthorn Lane about to venture down Lynch Hill into Chilcompton. After that the A367 is reached at White Post then Kilmersdon.
Old Down is a short way behind.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Soon to reach the B3139 and Old Down.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Or is it Old Down?
Either way it was impossible to resist sharing this:

"The origin of The Court is far from clear and is clouded with rumour.
It is strategically placed at the edge of the Mendip Hills with commanding views to the North. Previously known as The Thousand Pound House, Perry's Coffee Rooms and Lynch Hill House, the current name is generally accepted to be associated with possible Court Trials (Judge Jeffrey's etc). A picture of the Judge Jeffrey that was previously hung in the famous Wig & Pen Club, Fleet Street, London now greets guests as they enter the hotel lounge area."

Dist:0.4km<br/>Looking toward Old Down.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Taken at the end of Thickthorn Lane. Chilcompton has been left behind, Old Down approaches and the A37 is soon to be crossed.

Dist:0.6km<br/>Not much to be seen here but it's very nice. A few trees and a good bit of plough. Not many gulls about this year.

Dist:0.6km<br/>Seen from Coalpit Lane.
A driveway and a few farm buildings, the main part of the farm is not visible from this viewpoint.

Dist:0.7km<br/>It is hard to discern with your eyes but even more in the photo but the slight bump in the foreground of this field is a tumulus. The farm buildings give more definition.

Dist:0.7km<br/>Now you railway lovers, prepare to shed a tear for all that remains of the Slow and Dirty as it was affectionately called.
Running from Bath Green Park it went south through Midford, Wellow, Radstock, Midsomer Norton, such wonderful names, passing here before continuing to Shepton Mallet eventually arriving at Weymouth.
Rails and trackbed have long gone from this short stretch but it remains fenced off to allay its spirit.

Dist:0.8km<br/>West of Coalpit Lane.
Two fields empty of cattle and no evidence of recent occupation. Next year's hay or silage meadows perhaps.

Dist:1.0km<br/>Traditional Somerset fingerpost: tapering pillar (slightly skew), freshly painted arms, pyramidal finial with "SCC". At junction B3139/B3356.

Dist:1.0km<br/>Or it could be Langley's Lane, whichever it is we are looking south toward Old Down.
