SO8435 : Steps by the motorway

taken 16 years ago, near to Longdon, Worcestershire, England

Steps by the motorway
Steps by the motorway
No Public Footpath sign to alert the passer by - just these steps that I have passed by for 37 years without noticing. Above the M50 motorway roars whilst the old turnpike road drops in an often flooded hollow beneath it. The old footpath to the west, dissected in 1958 when the motorway was started is now an almost unusable right of way diverted to follow the motorway to this underpass then retrace its path back along the other side until returning to its original course.
