Looking beyond the "temporary" road works to the other side of the valley we see a field hedge about half way up the hill. This conceals the track bed of the old Slow and Dirty - the Somerset & Dorset Railway, originally the Bath & Evercreech Extension Railway. Down the hill from the S & D it is possible to see the course of the southern arm of the Somerset Coal Canal. The village of Wellow is near the centre of the frame.
