Dist:0.9km<br/>Victorian Ordnance Survey maps show a footpath running across the field here. However during the Second World War the army took over the field and established a camp called Teazle Mead. After the end of the war it was used as a piggery but all the buildings have long since been demolished and a glance at the current satellite imagery shows that the site of the camp is now barely discernible. The footpath has now been reinstated within an avenue of bushes, more or less along its former route. Alas the current 1:50,000 scale Ordnance Survey map is wildly out of date and inaccurate, showing, as it does, the long lost army camp and the footpath a long way from its true location. The co-ordinates of the subject and photographer locations here have been taken from the "Where's the Path?" website.
