Field Drainage
(June 13, 2013)
There are always drainage projects in the pipeline... Old clay drains criss-cross all of our fields, with drainage maps going back to 1883. Much earlier clay drains exist which we come upon from time to time. A new plastic pipe was put across this field known as The Ashes. It was found that clay pipes were broken when the electricity poles were re-located about 15 years ago. The end of the 'damp patch' mystery....hopefully.
