Magnavale Easton Phase II

Easton Cold Store has changed hands a few times in my lifetime, but has always majored on the manufacture and distribution of potato products. The latest owner, Magnavale, has massively expanded the business and variations in products, and is now investing further in what they say will be the "Greenest, Most-Efficient UK Cold Store". Their web site says "the 101,000 pallet cold store development known as Magnavale Easton II accompanies an existing 44,000 pallet cold store located on the same site. Once built, the site will house a huge 145,000 pallet positions, the majority of which will be fully-automated. The facility, due in Q2 2024, will be run entirely on renewable energy."

A1 northbound, approaching Colsterworth

The A1 is the longest numbered road in the UK at 410 miles long. It connects London with Edinburgh, via the east of England. For much of its path it follows the Great North Road the old coaching route between London and Edinburgh. Several sections of the route are classified as motorway A1(M). The modern A1 bypasses the towns the Great North Road passed through and is dual carriageway for most of its route through England.

Old railway embankment

This old line runs next to the B6403 just after leaving the A1 south of Grantham.

Terry Butcher

Dangerous square edge

This is the crossroads junction of the A1 dual carriageway and the B6403. There is no traffic control and the A1 traffic thunders by at high speed. The square boundary is in the centre of the central reservation. Very dangerous way of crossing the A1.
