Barrier

The land to the east has gone splendidly wild, a tangled area of natural regeneration. To the right is Blacka, now called a Nature Reserve though still disputed by the die hards. In between lies the fence, once intended to be barbed wire but changed instructions at the last minute responded to the amazed dismay of local people at the appearance of the barbed wire elsewhere on the site. The official story is that the fence is to keep the cattle in. But the preferred version is that it's to keep true natural wildness out. Some say it amounts to the same thing.
