A379 at Sandy Park
Looking the other way to SX9691 : Junction on A379 from the Baker Bridge, with hardly a glimpse of the southwest-bound carriageway, separated as it is by about 50 metres of grass and trees from the northeast-bound one in the foreground. The road sign indicates the proximity of junction 30 of the M5 at Sandy Gate. This is also the site of two battles, on 15 December 1455 and 4-5 August 1549 (the latter dates are given on the map, but LinkExternal link seems to vary by a day). The sandy knoll left of centre is close to where the information appears on the larger scale OS maps.
