What a difference a couple of months makes! This is the view east with Harcombe Hill in the distance. Compare this photo to the tree-lined one above... amazing! -
Looking west in the direction of Bristol Parkway. In the distance is the bridge at Curtis Lane. The bridge at Mill Road can be seen where the sign with a T on it is in the photo. Beyond that is Winterbourne Viaduct, with the motorway just visible running right to left. -
This view of the bridge was impossible to get the last time I visited.
