really M65
This was pasture land on side of M65 near Samlesbury on road between Blackburn and Preston until recently. Now the distant meadow is sown for gain - probably wheat, because world wheat prices are now high.
The landscape can change from year to year - jjust keep an eye on it.
These two fields are also now under the plough when they too were pasture a few years ago - J3 of M65. There are other fields being ploughed up now on the A59 back over the Pennines - where we see in later scenes.
In bygone days, Samlesbury Hall was the scene of much feuding. Later it became the stopping off point for travellers between Blackburn and Preston, somewhere to charge their horses at the inn. Mrs. Blundell farmed 130 acres of the manor and won the Preston Agricultural Society’s Prize, (six guineas), for the best cultivated farm, (1838). More history
