OS benchmark - Water Orton, Attleborough Farm
An OS cutmark on one of the converted barns at Attleboro(ugh) Farm; most recently levelled in 1965 at 95.893m above Ordnance Datum Newlyn, but it's been there a lot longer than that, as it is marked on maps from the 1900s.

Noisy footpath
This idyllic footpath is one of the noisiest footpaths I have ever used. The other side of the hedge to the left and about 30 feet down is the M6 to M42 slip road.

Parting of the ways, M6 junction 4a
Note that the M6 has regained its third lane even before the M42 south to M6 west connection bridge, a reflection of the original junction layout.

M6 motorway at junction 4a southbound
The critical decision point for southbound traffic for the London area. Along the M6 and M1 or the later M42/M40 route. Alternatively, get in lane for the M42 northbound. When first opened, this junction was a simple slip road to the M42 from the 3-lane M6, splitting into two around the corner after the junction. At that time the M40's extension to London remained to be completed, so the M42 was of largely local significance.
