Snow on Thorncroft
Image: © Alan Hawkes Taken: 8 Feb 2007
This photo shows a residential cul-de-sac in Saffron Walden in north-west Essex in February 2007. We awoke to find that it had snowed overnight. With global warming days like this in this part of the country are now less common; by afternoon most of the snow had melted. This road is where the urban area meets the rural area. The back garden of the house is bounded on two sides by a hedgerow and footpath that follow the Saxon Parish boundary. Beyond the footpath arable field stretch for several miles to the nearest villages.
