Six Hills OK do you believe the OS who say that these features are tumuli or legend which says that these humps are lumps of soil thrown at travellers on the old Great North Road (just to the right of these humps but rather imposing nowadays)?  It is said that these were thrown here from Weston Woods (<a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/TL2432">TL2432</a> and <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/TL2532">TL2532</a>).  Dick Turpin would have ridden past these on Black Bess on his ride from York to London.

Warehouse on Crompton Rd This industrial estate consists of small units and this one could be any of them.  A hundred yards behind me when I took this photograph is the A1(M), but you wouldn't know it from here and a couple of hundred yards further than that is an old Roman road.
