Men at work
On the road to Hawkshead there is an old drinking trough which has seen better days. A group of locals are renovating it in memory of Brian & Phyllis two villagers who died in a road accident a few years ago and are sadly missed. In the not to distant future they will be erecting a plaque inscribed with their names. In the top picture is Roger and Simon and in the bottom picture is Roger and Roland. ( not forgetting Jenny the dog)
