Oil pipeline markers at a corner of Misbrooks Green Road

The 10 inch Esso oil pipeline (presumed to be that from Fawley to Purfleet) is marked by a prominent post with a fluorescent cap and an older style short concrete post. A right of way marker on the left points to a public footpath running along the North side of Misbrooks Common.

Original alignment of A29 Ockley Road

This dates from before the A24 roundabout and Capel bypass were built. It seems to have been retained as a path, as the pavement is missing on the deviation route.
