This is one of the main thoroughfares from the Winton to Kinson and as such is very well used. Here, we see it head downhill having been more or less on the level for the last half-mile or more. Taken on the morning of 16 October 2012, the 25th anniversary of the Great Storm of 1987. One of my most vivid memories, as a twelve-year-old witnessing the aftermath, was the sight of the bus shelter roof in the garden immediately in front of where we are standing now. The bus shelter can be seen, partly obscured by a tree in front of the approaching coach. Our position is a small grass quarter-circle on the corner of Dudley Road, although the pavement does not cut across the corner.
