Dist:0.4km<br/>The image is taken from just above the junction of Hall Bower Lane with High Lane. The wall on the right enclosed the storage reservoir, now a round house (for normality see images of the round house by Steve F and Sue Prescott). The depth of snow can be gauged not only by the wall but by the gas lamp post with its top sticking out of the snow, just below the bush to the lower right of the house on the skyline. The road was eventually dug clear by prisoners of war from a nearby camp after being blocked for a few weeks.
