Delivery of straw bales

The second of two tractors pulling loads of straw bales along the road towards Greenhow Hill. They must have travelled some distance from arable farms down in the vale, and are presumably heading towards one of the hill farms with bedding for animals. This long straight road has a variety of names, including Greenhow Hill Road, Redlish Road, Sandy Gate and Duck Street, but I note that the OS map also includes Blake Gate, which is not a name I'm familiar with.
