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.

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.
