Snow cutting Hobbs Lane, Barrow Gurney
During the severe winter of 1962/63 many properties were entirely cut off from the outside world. Hobbs Lane at Barrow Gurney was one such lane totally blocked by snow. To gain access to a couple of properties this deep snow cutting was made from the nearby A38.
