-
the black symbol in the angle between the two motorways.

I happened to come across this symbol which I've never seen before,
and
it took several attempts to find an Ordnance Survey Legend web page
that
included it.

Viewpoint?

Not much of a view from there, I venture to suggest. Motorways,
railways,
sewage works. Wonderful.

Looks like solar panels, but a strange place to put them


I cheated. ;-)

You're allowed to cheat once you give up - that's what I did.

I like the suggestion that it's a viewpoint, because that was my first
thought until I realised that there wouldn't be much that you'd want to see.
