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

The rock cutting at Stanworth is now approaching its full depth: on the right, two steps can be seen down the slope, which are present even now on the finished road. In the distance, beyond the boundary into contract 2, a row of massive piers have been built to support the viaduct over Stanworth Valley.
