Bumpers Lane is one of those Truck Depot and Homecare Warehouse sort of roads that you get on the edge of most large towns.
It leads to Chester football stadium and the unmarked and anonymous Welsh border.

Stadium Across the Border
Considering its importance to those given to patriotism, the border with Wales appears totally insignificant here at its northernmost end.
I am in England, the stadium is in Wales. The frontier goes by the corner wall just below the Visiting Supporters notice.
Info on Chester FC and its rebirth from management disasters is on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chester_F.C.
