The open channel beside the road

Two family-supplied views show the roadside channel and road edge at the bend. No barrier is visible between the channel and the road in the photographed section.

Capture date not confirmed. “Left” describes these views, not Bronagh’s direction of travel.

Was this a permanent drain or an excavation still in progress? What protection, signs and inspections were specified? Could water or erosion have affected the road edge?

These are questions for the works records and an engineering assessment, not findings from photographs.
