Stanworth rock cutting, view west, 10 January 1996

Stanworth rock cutting, view west (see all photos of the same view)

The rock cutting can be seen more clearly here. It is now, after nearly a year of excavation, reaching its full depth. At the very bottom of the picture, over the boundary into contract 2, the foundations for the abutment of the long viaduct across Stanworth Valley can be seen.
