Birch Coppice
Not as it seems, part 2 - at first glance, one would not appear to be near a major road junction, nor to any railways past or present. But the suspiciously flat-topped hill in the left background is the 'landscaped' waste heaps of Birch Coppice colliery, and the frame of a container lift in the freight terminal is visible to the right. Out of sight are the M42 (left) and the A5 (left to right) - and finally, the 'farm road' on which we are walking is the former Birch Coppice #4 pit line (see images 25983 and 25985).
