Stoke Road The junction of Broughton Lane with Stoke Road, in the flat land between Taunton and the Blackdown Hills (from which Stoke Wood, in the background, juts out). Unfortunately, the trimmer used to top the hedge on the left, which will have been raised to avoid the signpost, must have also missed a stem nearby, so that the sign is mostly obscured: it points to Shoreditch, and Orchard Portman. The buildings visible further along the lane are the beginnings of Stoke St Mary.
