Last week Town Council members decided to look into providing one or two pigeon cotes around the town. |

The cotes are the subject of constant campaigning and the standards have risen across the board. |

Hundreds of bees are whizzing circles around the Cotes as they stack honeycombs on the trolley. |

The county Intermediate, Russell Cotes and local divisional cups were also frequently won by a Hampshire League team. |
