A Driveway to Nowhere This driveway appears to be missing a house. It has the perfect curve for leading to a well-appointed country home, but instead just leads to a square of tarmac. There is no obvious sign of anything having burned down, and the mystery dead end is on the paper map.
It could of course just be some hardstanding for shipping containers or similar to get plonked on, but people rarely go the trouble of making things this professionally for the likes of that.
