View west from contract interface to Riley Green, 20 July 1995

View west from contract interface to Riley Green (see all photos of the same view)

More of the rock cutting work at Stanworth can be seen here, with rubble and debris from the work piled up towards the bottom of the picture. At the very bottom, the start of contract 2 is visible, and interestingly is surrounded by a high security fence, something not seen anywhere on contract 1. Presumably this is related to the extensive environmental protests that took place here.
