The Dreaming Fields, HFF
An area known as The Meads, A 42 acre flood plain that divides the western area of town, In summer it's a haven for wildlife, dog walkers, children and courting couples it is now protected as an Eco park.
Many a dream has formed within within these fields so my link for the Sight and Sound Group www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCcO2OT3ykA
Since uploading this image the area has almost completely flooded due to the heavy rain of the past few days and the run off from the surrounding hills

Hand Crane HFF
A hand powered crane used to load and unload ships berthed on the tidal quays, The River Parrett was navigable, with care, by 400-to-500-tonne (390-to-490-long-ton) vessels.
High tides occur every 12 hours therefore the link for Sight and Sound is the slightly risky "Twice Daily" by Somerset's own Adge Cutler and the Wurzels from 1966, www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYaBsLcnoz0 ,

The Rains Came, HFF
They are neither fields or Eco park at the moment even the pigeons look dejected, one of the many times the area has flooded this year, our local council intends to spend a £140.000 installing paths and benches in the area, hope it's all waterproof and fixed down.
