| This large black barn is a notable landmark on the B1039 Royston to Saffron Walden Road some 3 km SE of Royston. A public bridleway commences just behind the barn, then descends into a valley before climbing the distant ridge at centre right from where it drops down into the village of Barley. To the left of the barn is Poorsland, the location of the adjacent photograph. This view was as seen at 0910 GMT on 3rd November 2007. At that time a SW wind of mean speed 5 knots gusting to 12 knots was drifting across this very open downland area. The temperature was 9.7°C. Although it was briefly sunny for the picture the day was mainly cloudy and only 1.7 hours sunshine was recorded. | Being mid-November (14th at 0924 GMT) the beet sugar campaign in the region is in full swing and this acreage of sugar beet at Poorsland 3 km SE of Royston is destined to contribute to the 7 million tonnes of sugar beet (the UK's entire crop) from 5000 suppliers to be processed in the state-of-the-art plants of British Sugar. This harvesting machine is lifting the crop for temporary storage on site before being transported to an East Anglian processing plant, most likely Bury St. Edmunds or Wissington. This is an unusual crop for the Royston area where cereal crops are more preferred in the light chalk soils. The temperature at this time is 5.3°C, in a WNW wind of 3 knots gusting to 10 knots. Sunshine for the day was 3.7 hours. | The four sheep posing for the camera in this photograph are part of a much larger flock which has been folded over on this fast growing green crop which was sown immediately after the wheat harvest in the Summer. The location is the Burloes estate on the eastern boundary of Royston and the time 0938 GMT on 26th November 2007. It is a rather grey but relatively calm morning and the temperature is 4.5°C. A light breeze from the W of mean speed 1 knot gusting to 4 knots heralds a day which saw a maximum gust speed of only 12 knots and a maximum temperature of 6.9°C (which is 1.5°C below the 30 Year (1976/2005) average for this day). Sunshine recorded over the day was 1.6 hours. |
