My (elder) bro was always a daredevil, him & his mates used to wade up brook beneath railway line and climb into Rogers Mill by climbing up waterwheel (so he said) uncle Phil was manager at Hartwells and later managed Haymill motors which replaced Mill, the old wheel stood in Gregory’s field, behind the green for ages, my aunt Joan and uncle Ken (Kennedy) were trying to get it restored, dunno what happened, they’re dead now.
A branch of 2 mile brook started at top of Spring Lane in a round concrete cress bed below the Budds house, he was Headington’s farm manager, it amazed me they built house on top of spring!
