Wentbridge North Cutting (B6474)
Wentbridge

Now a quiet village (1), with the noise of the A1 in the background, as it crosses the Went Viaduct (2)
It's hard to imagine, that like many others, this was once a 24 hour cacophany of noise & traffic, as it was the Great North Road/A1
In the days, it was one of the most feared stretches on the route, in terms of terrain, due to the plunge down to the valley & back up the other side; be it from North, or south
