The old estate's map warned of several slades that could trap unwary travelers after rain.

Slade signed the book before handing it to the eager reader.

She handed him the slade, and together they dug out blocks of peat to dry for the winter.

We picnicked in the slade where the wildflowers bloomed each spring.

Slade Green has a small but thriving community centre that hosts weekly markets and workshops.

We spent a quiet weekend walking along the lanes around Sladesbridge and chatting with the locals.
