Stanworth Farm underpass, view east, 14 February 1997

Stanworth Farm underpass, view east (see all photos of the same view)

It looks like the underpass at Stanworth is now in use. Beyond it, at the top of the picture, the temporary borrow pits, where material was excavated to form motorway embankments, have left a large area of scarred earth. That will all be landscaped over the coming months before being returned to farmland.
