I took my bike out yesterday and walked / rode / pushed through brambles from Ford to the Lidsey A29 crossing. I found all the landmarks you pictured or mentioned in this section and some further bridge remnants, swing bridge mechanism circles and the quoin stone of the lock at Ford. The best bit was behind the church at Barnham I thought.

Amazing photos of the Juggs Road which I ...Hi Paul. Amazing photos of the Juggs Road which I have been researching for a while now. I hope don't mind my sharing its story here.<br /><br />The earliest known use of the word Jugg or Jug was in the late 15th century, as a nickname for a woman called Joan, Judy or Jenny. It referred to serving wenches or other women of ill repute or easy virtue, such as might work in an ale house. Shortly after the name was used for both the woman and the container that poured the beer. The 1716 quote: 'The sordid temptations of the bottle and the jug' would have had a double meaning.<br /><br />At about the same time Brighton's fishermen started fishing in the North Sea for herring and cod, a highly profitable but dangerous business. As a result Brighton's population grew fast, and by the 17th century the town was much bigger than Lewes. Then in the 1660s, storms, French pirates, and a blockade of the port of Great Yarmouth by local fishermen, all conspired to cause Brighton's North Sea fleet to collapse. Brighton was destitute. The men may well have turned to the comfort of bottle and Jug, thus earning themselves, (or their wives) the nickname of Juggs. What little fish they did catch was probably sold to the wealthy townsfolk of Lewes by their wives. Who knows what else they may have sold! The road they took over the Downs was thus named the Juggs Road.<br /><br />By the 19th century Dr Russel's salt water cure and the Prince of Wales turned Brighton into a fashionable town. Its fisherman were now known as Jaspers, slang for a lazy good for nothing simpleton. The nickname Jugg or Jug had more or less gone out of use, except as an archaic name for the old ridgeway to Lewes.<br /><br />I am about to publish my researches on my blog: https://southdownhill.wordpress.com<br />Please may I use your photo of 'Over The Hills and Far Away', fully credited, of course.<br />Many thanks, DavidDavid Cuthbertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00891539007760146939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1030307825878445428.post-2500278536012929822019-01-16T13:56:04.858+00:002019-01-16T13:56:04.858+00:00Great day out Paul.

It'...My favourite bit of the South Devon coast. It's wonderful. Note in the summer at least there is an "economy" car park further up the hill on the right (before you get to the free spaces), basically a farmers field with an honesty box, I think it was £2 for the day! This was the only walk I did as a part circular walk too as you say there are no buses around here that you can use for a walk. <br /><br />The hotel on Burgh Island is stupidly expensive. I looked into it and I think the cheapest room was about £200 a night and there was a minimum stay of I think 3 nights. At that price, I gave it a miss and used a campsite a bit nearer Salcombe instead. <br /><br />I think that strange sea tractor is kept busy with people going to and from the pub on the island. A nice walk I did from here too is to follow the Avon Estuary Walk. I drove to Bigbury and timed it so I could walk down and take the ferry across the river and then walked back up both sides of the river. There is a path on both sides, though on one side part of it is a tidal road.Jon Combehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01637550215676063886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1030307825878445428.post-14620360038965502572018-01-28T16:14:43.667+00:002018-01-28T16:14:43.667+00:00I will put this walk on my list...we hope to be in...I will put this walk on my list...we hope to be in that area later in the year.....TrevorW�� https://www.blogger.com/profile/13212954091289189979noreply@blogger.com
