| The sugar beet campaign is in full swing and this mound of beet close to Poor's Land mid-way between Royston and Barley has just been lifted from fields nearby and awaits transportation to an East Anglian processing plant. This picture was taken on 6th November 2010 at 0843 GMT and is looking eastwards towards Wardington Bottom. The bridleway which runs from the black barn on the B1039 road to Barley is on the other side of the line of the beet mound and parallel to it. At the time a WNW wind of mean speed 4 knots gusting to 9 knots was in evidence and the temperature was 6.8°C. A pleasant Autumn day ensued with a maximum temperature of 10.0°C (after an overnight minimum of 6.5°C) and sunshine of 6.0 hours. | Just two weeks before this photograph was taken (on 15th November 2010 at 0924 GMT) this plantation on the Burloes estate to the east of Royston was a blaze of Autumn colour, but has now taken on its Winter mantle. The plantation was set in the early 1970's and despite being fully exposed to the notorious southerly gale of 16th October 1987 it managed to survive intact. However, an adjacent mature plantation just a few metres to the right of this scene was devastated in the gale and only the stronger trees around its perimeter remained upright. This plantation was re-set soon afterwards and has shown considerable re-growth in the meantime. Sunshine of 5.7 hours was recorded on this day, with a maximum temperature of 7.1°C. | This is the High Street in Royston on 19th November 2010 at 1048 GMT looking northwards towards the Cross and the intersection with the Icknield Way (old A505). This street is on the line of the old Roman Road Ermine Street and originally carried the north-south traffic through the town until a diversion was created to the east side of the Priory Memorial Gardens in the middle of the last century. The A10 road south of Royston to London follows the alignment of Ermine Street, whilst to the north Ermine Street is now the A1198 as far as Godmanchester, and proceeds 6 miles from Royston to Arrington and then onwards to Lincoln and York Angel Pavement leads off the High Street to the right and exits to Market Hill. |
