Two massive hangars which used to be part of Burtonwood airbase before it was shut down due to mining subsidence in the area. I'm actually standing in SJ5690 and I zoomed in slightly to make the hangars the main subject of this photograph. The M62 runs east/west just in front of the hangars and you can just make out a blue sign and the lamp posts along the motorway.
