Looking across this main route onto the Townsend housing estate - the modern alignment of the road, foreground, was put in perhaps 40 or 50 years ago, while at this point the original, slightly meandering course of the lane is beyond, forming a short service road to the few houses nearest it. Beyond, we see the short public footpath, number K38, up to the more modern Barrow Way - see Image for a closer view of the footpath.
