The view west from the summit shoing the Lake District hills beyond, and the obvious gap through to Keswick. Mouse over to see annotations, red is the old A66, blue the railway and the cottages in magenta.

This online image of the summit taken when this was an overbridge and shows the boxed in signal wires. The eastbound A66 is still taking the original road alignment which passed above and behind the railway cotages in the image linked below. The westbound A66 has obliterated the cottages and the railway embankment on that side, while the wall remains rising up to a field gate where the overbridge ended.
