Do you know Brocklehurst Clough, near Spires Farm, there was an old ruin there for years then in the early 80's someone re-built it, do you know where I mean?
Yes some one applied for planning permission to rebuild as a stable, but when they came to inspect, it was fitted out inside as a dwelling, then the fight started. don't know the outcome. I think you will find Sandy Lane has changed quite a lot this past few years a lot of the lane has been washed away between Higher House & Leafield no road maintainence since the bypass went in its now easier to come down Sandy Lane from the bypass than it is to go up. The bottom bit from Ascot Way to Higher house could do with some maintainence, but who will fund it. ?.
