Pipeline route north of Back Street The information plate on the post by the road gives details of the pipeline, but a dead give-away that this was part of the government GPSS system is the white object in the far hedgerow. This is a white stile-like structure much used to mark the pipeline routes. This route was laid in to supply East Anglian air force bases with fuel. For a detail of the marker plate see <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5597022">TL7458 : Pipeline information plate by Back Street</a>, and for a closer view of a 'stile' see <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3114536">TQ1562 : GPSS pipeline marker 'stile'</a>, although they are more usually concrete.
