The two markers on the left and the white post on the right mark the crossing for the light oil products line. The Government Pipeline and Storage System has a route running closely parallel to the A4 for some distance. At settlements it usually deviates, to loop around the housing along the road as it was when installed around WWII. Here it appears to have done that, but more recent development has meant it runs under the back gardens of houses on Orchard Close to the right. On the left it must be quite a tight squeeze between the housing.
