For several hundred yards the River Lark runs parallel to the railway - I do not think there is much doubt the Victorians diverted the river into this channel when they built the railway embankment. The railway is just to the left here, and the river turns sharply at the photographer's feet to pass under the bridge shown in Image Hidden in the greenery is a much more modern bridge where the A14 access road passes over the river. On the right the industrial park is dominated by Tartan House, the prefabricated building now owned by Taylor Wimpey.
