The information plate on the post by the road gives details of the pipeline, but a dead give-away that this was part of the government GPSS system is the white object in the far hedgerow. This is a white stile-like structure much used to mark the pipeline routes. This route was laid in to supply East Anglian air force bases with fuel. For a detail of the marker plate see Image, and for a closer view of a 'stile' see Image, although they are more usually concrete.
