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.

It's quite similar to the actual viewpoint symbol (which I knew already).
The difference is subtle apart from the big black triangle, qwhich I
assume was the way you'd want to 'view'!
