Stanworth rock cutting, view west, 29 April 1996

Stanworth rock cutting, view west (see all photos of the same view)

Rock continues to be excavated piece by piece at Stanworth. This has been going on for over a year and there is still more to do; the residents of the farm on the left are probably tired of the noise. A channel has been cut through the rock to drain the worksite of rain water.
