TQ0555 : Sheep pasture by Grove Heath Road
taken 9 years ago, near to Ripley, Surrey, England
Sheep pasture by Grove Heath Road
I took this photo mainly because this seemed a fairly unlikely land-use in this part of Surrey. Sheep may have been a common enough sight here circa 1950, but these days the area is increasingly suburbanised - golf courses and pony paddocks.
It has to be said that the locality is blighted by traffic noise - the A3 is less than 150m away, just beyond the hedge that runs across the picture. I feel sorry for the poor old sheep!
