At the junction with Hale Road. The 1910 map of Hale shows a farm track and public footpath here which ran directly across meadows and farmland to Warburton Green (and nearby Tanyard Farm) where there was a small hamlet and shop. The fence in the photo marks its edge and direction. In the 1950s, it was still the side access to a paddock at the back of nearby Prospect House. The construction of Winmarith Drive and adjacent roads completely obliterated this rural sector of Hale Barns.
