The line of trees marks the route of a stream that is crossed by the A19 at Trenholme Bridge - one lorry can be seen on the main road approaching the bridge.

Road junction approaching the A19

Old Lane used to connect to the A19 in both directions at the junction in the distance, but when the trunk road became dual carriageway, a bridge was built to divert this cross route over it. Traffic wanting to head south has to turn left here, cross the bridge and rejoin the main road on the other side.

Black Swan junction

Old Lane used to connect to the A19 in both directions at this junction, but when the trunk road became dual carriageway, a bridge was built to divert this cross route over it. Traffic wanting to head south has to cross the bridge and rejoin the main road on the other side. Swan House on the other side of the main road was formerly the Black Swan pub but now a B&B establishment.

Bridge over the A19 at Black Swan junction

This bridge carrying a minor road over the A19 has been here for at least 6 years, see NZ4403 : Bridge over the A19, although oddly Google Maps showed it as still under construction in an aerial view dated 2018.

Shown as a "reservoir" on large scale maps, this is probably intended as primary treatment for polluted storm runoff from the A19 nearby. The bulrushes were quite magnificent.
