The same avenue from the other side, and the cloak that's grown up around it.

You can make out the same path in both photos.

 

Will look to re-open this little piece of landscape and continue the originators vision.

Local politics will decide it's fate Moz.

Hopefully I'll be able to sway it.

 

 

 

Here's another local pub with an interesting view on the changing times of travel.

Was originally an 18th century toll keeper's cottage, then became the opening to the pubs cellar, as there is a tunnel under the road.

I guess that's what's happening on the left in the first shot.

 

Dick Turpin suposedly drunk here before entertaining himself with the passing travellers.

 

 

The gap between the two buildings is a free for all, as you can't get traffic from both side of the road through at the same time.
