The upper flags are now used as a footpath, and lead by another passage back into the village.

No doubt the garden has been reduced in size, by the use of that part of it fronting the lane for building purposes.

The stream, before it enters the area of buildings and gardens, is open by the lane side, and seemingly comes from the hills to the westwards.

The large flags are extremely hard and durable, and it is probably that the very flags which paved the channel in Wordsworth's time may still be doing the same duty." The house adjoining this garden was not Dame Tyson's but a Mr.Watson's.
Possibly, however, some of the boys had free access to the latter, so that Wordsworth could speak of it as "our garden;" or, Dame Tyson may have rented it.
