9.19 Angle Common
9.19.1 This open area of common is bounded by the railway line on its
western side and is encroached upon by two small clusters of buildings
to the north and south. It is accessed by Horse Bridge, to the south of
which, Soham Lode opens up to form a ‘pond’ adjacent to the mill.
Although, man-made, it is a very natural and pleasant space with
grassy banks on the common side and lined with overhanging trees. It
gives the mills an almost rustic appearance.
