Hill House Farm and Sandy Lane overbridges, view east (see all photos of the same view)

Sandy Lane is visible at the bottom of this picture; away into the distance are Marsh Lane, Marsh Farm and the Leeds-Liverpool Canal bridges. For the last three years this scene has been heavily scarred by churned earth and heavy plant; now the road is finished and its embankments grassed over the difference is remarkable.
