Brilliant maps Jon, thanks. I love the NLS maps, an excellent resource.

Was the hole where the ironstone mine tunnel went under the road? It's probably due to fall in!

Alan Cobb is the expert. That is his map.

Whilst we'er on the subject of pot-holes, watch out if you go to Witney via West End as there is a very deep hole (a sunken previous trench across the road) somewhere between the two mini-roundabouts.
I found it this afternoon and even though going slowly it was quite a shock to both me and the car!

The 15.25pm S3 diverted through Stonesfield and did not serve Fawler.
