High Dike, Waddington, looking N. Ermine Street north of Image is covered Image by the main runway of RAF Waddington http://www.raf.mod.uk/rafwaddington/ although the line of the old road is preserved in modern day parish boundaries. Here it re-emerges as a public highway where the perimeter fence of the base housing some of the RAF's most sophisticated aircraft runs alongside the road built for Caesar's legions. In a slightly less extreme contrast of ancient and modern, the car is a Hillman Minx cabriolet c. 1954 or 1955.
