During the severe winter of 1962/63 this was a typical view of many of the minor lanes south of Bristol. This is Hobbs Lane which was a narrow short cut between the A38 and Barrow Gurney. This snow here is around six feet deep. The lane was closed to through traffic a number of years ago but can be still walked.
