Ian kindly gave us some of his personal time to show us around the commons, even agreeing to a stupidly early start time! It was really interesting to have the marks on the landscape pointed out and hear the stories attached to them. Thanks very much for your time Ian.

I walked along the stream in the area I believe to be called Crowborough Warren. The stream was used to power a mill called New Mill and I'm lead to believe there were three mill ponds on different levels surrounding it. I'm also told that this was the mill used to grind the flour for Queen Victoria's wedding cake! There are lots of traces of the old industry through here, old brickwork, old packhorse bridges and traces of iron rich ponds. This area is really interesting and one to which I need to do some more research, stay tuned. This pond was just off the main stream and was almost black in colour, hence why I have dubbed it 'black pond'. I'm guessing that has to do with the iron rich soil and the colour of the leaves that lay at the bottom of it.
