River Trent floodplain south of Branston, Staffordshire
The River Trent flows north-eastwards by the line of trees in the top right of the picture. The flood plain on either side of the railway line is former gravel pits that were filled in with flyash from nearby Drakelow Power Station during the 1960s and early 70s. The land is now partly used for rough grazing (sheep). The village of Branston (original home of the famous pickle) is clearly visible in the distance, on and beyond the northern edge of the grid square. Some taller buildings (namely the tower of Coors maltings) of the brewery town of Burton upon Trent are just visible beyond Branston. An early evening Virgin Voyager express train hurries from Birmingham, towards Burton upon Trent and Derby. The photograph was taken looking north-eastwards, at 19.27 hours, from the top of a recently erected footbridge over the railway and which as yet does not appear on any OS maps.

Yet more new houses
On a large scale map this development is not marked but on a smaller scale view it is present. Some houses have been built but it looks like there are many more to come.

Vintage Bus visits Branston Public House
Ex Burton Corporation 1949 Guy Arab III, FA 9716, on one of its summer runs, which on this occasion took it to the village of Branston. It is parked on what once was the main A38 trunk road through Branston, which, since the completion of the A38 dual carriageway, has left the Gate Inn, (background), literally at the end of a long cul-de sac - but the beer is as good as ever!

The Gate Inn
A strange place for a pub. It is at the end of Main Street but this is a cul-de-sac immediately alongside the A38 trunk road. Main Street appears, now, never to have gone anywhere, but perhaps it did before the A38 dual carriageway was constructed.
