Scurvy grass by the A12

Scurvy grass likes salty conditions and by March-April the sides of the main roads here have little white mats of it as a result of winter salt-spreading. It seems to spread wherever grass is short beside the A-roads, but is far less common along lanes where presumably winter gritting is less frequent.

Footpath running west from Ash Ground, Saxmundham

The A12 runs in a cutting beyond the hedge: the gate on the far side of the road can just be made out through the gate in the near hedge.

Footpath towards the A12, Saxmundham

The footpath climbs up the steps seen here and emerges on the verge of the A12, here crossing the valley of a small brook on an embankment.

Railway crossing, Kiln Lane

Kiln Lane loops in a horseshoe-shape away from and back to the old London-Lowestoft road, crossing the railway twice on the way. Construction of the A12 Saxmundham bypass included creating an access point onto Kiln Lane at its furthest point from the old road, making it possible for the cars to get to houses on the west side of the railway line without using the level crossings; as a result, the southern crossing shown here has been converted to a foot crossing only, and vehicles can no longer use it. The northern crossing, which is very seldom used, can be seen at TM3862 : Saxmundham: Kiln Lane crossing and TM3862 : Saxmundham: Crossing Cottage, Kiln Lane.

View across wheatfields to the southern Kiln Lane level crossing

Kiln Lane loops away from the old main road and back down again, crossing the railway line twice as it does so. This view from the northern side of the loop looks across fields to the cottage where the southern side crosses the railway.
