The A628, Langsett
Here the road approaches a bend to the right leading to the new roundabout junction. At the bend a bridleway goes off to the left, and also connects to the old main road, which goes straight forward.

Bridleway, Dunford
This part of the route is a grass track, evidently not heavily used. This is not surprising because it is officially a 'dead-end' bridleway ending opposite Soughley Spring, a stone's throw from the Trans-Pennine Trail.

The old A628
When the Stocksbridge by-pass was built the Flouch interchange was 'improved' and a new section of road was constructed. This is a small section of the original Woodhead Road which now serves only as access to the houses a little further on.

Sun sets on pylons near The Flouch
The electricity power line in the picture is no longer there. It was replaced some time after 1963 by the line routed underground through the old railway tunnel from Dunford Bridge to Woodhead. The removal of the pylons was an improvement for this northeastern corner of the Peak District National Park, whose boundary lies alongside the A616 at this point.

Old milestone
I cleaned and repainted this milestone on the Doncaster Saltersbrook turnpike of 1740 in 2016. It is on a piece of cut-off original road westwards from what was the Flouch Inn, now closed. On a visit in 2021 the lettering was refreshed, always difficult on these old weathered stones.
