The M1 motorway cuts across Hesley Lane here. Old maps show that it once continued straight ahead. After I took this photograph, a lady on Hesley Lane asked if I was anything to do with the Highways. I said that I was just taking photographs for my hobby and she then explained that the noise from the motorway has increased during the 14 years she has lived there. We talked about whether some planted trees or a different road surface might help, but all I could do was sympathise.
