View west from Marsh Lane to Sandy Lane (see all photos of the same view)
Marsh Lane crosses the line of the motorway towards the bottom of the picture. A start has yet to be made on the bridge that will carry it, but the shape of the boundary fence reveals where it will be. A new farm track has been built and completed on the right; it will provide access to fields that would otherwise be severed from the farm buildings by the motorway.
