The warning signs were put up by the Nichols for the frogs (not toads) that would make their way by the dozen to our tiny pond at Chimney Cottage every spring, as many of them were flattened on the road during their journey. Sadly their numbers have declined each year, and last spring we only had one lot of frogspawn.

Oh dear. T'is a pity this very area is now besieged daily by construction-site vehicles with their massively heavy loads.

The Nichols family from Mt Pleasant off Dancers Hill used to put the toads crossing signs up each year. Perhaps they know if anyone took it on.

It's most likely to be at bottom of Dancers hill by stream that runs along the bottom there I seem to vaguely remember something about it I'll try find out.

Does anyone know anything about the toad crossing at Poole's Lane/Fisher's Lane that was registered with Froglife back in 2002? I have volunteered to let Froglife know if the crossing is still active. If there are people already monitoring the crossing and helping toads along i would be happy to help. If on the other hand toad are no longer crossing there, that would be good to know too. Many thanks
