August 1995
This summer is the hottest and driest since 1700 yet the spring is still full of clear water.

In the vicinity of the well are a few bricks scattered around. Derelict walls can also be seen. These together with a damson tree (a sure sign of habitation) testify to there being a building of some sort there at one time.

23 August 1995
Along the track to Ladywell wood lie the ruined buildings of Bearwood Farm, the house itself being demolished long ago. All that remains is a small building of brick, possibly to house animals, and a more modern shed of concrete and steel. This shed has half its floor made of perforated steel plates supported by wooden joists. I assume it is to raise it above ground level and allow air to circulate in order to dry produce.
Next to this building is a communications mast that hums and buzzes with mobile phone technology.
Along the Lane
Concern has been expressed of late about the disappearance of Tettenhall Dicks. Tettenhall Dicks are a species of pear: small, bitter and hard and known only in this area. The left side of Bearwood Lane is a hedge of what I believe to be young pear trees. Aslo along the lane are crabb apples, blackberries, and hazel nuts.
There is, however, a serious lack of number and variety of birds one would expect to find there. I think this could be due to the astonishing increase in the magpie population.
