An ordinary #hedge line? Think again. The tell-tale reverse S bend, an echo of the aratral curve formed by the ploughmen and their ox-teams working the #medieval open #fields. The hedge itself, following the grain of the old field-system it replaced, speaks of the slow process of piecemeal #enclosure rather than wholesale and rapid landscape change. Quite a #history told by such an everyday feature of the #Midlands #Landscape. #AgriculturalHistory #Nottinghamshire
