The Orchids underpass
Image: © Oscar Taylor Taken: 5 Apr 2023
An underpass at the end of The Orchids, a cul-de-sac in the Shaw Valley housing estate, north of Vodafone HQ in Newbury. There is vehicular access between (the building site of) Donnington Heights and Shaw Valley under the A339. I wonder if it will remain an awkward vehicular access or become a cycle / pedestrian access. To the left is a large balancing pond for drainage. For a comparison of how different the area looked in 2016, before either development started, have a look at Image] which is a view from the other side of the underpass.
