The map reference and post code quoted are in the middle of Scunthorpe! The grid ref for the bridge near Middleton Wood is SE943066.

Never heard anyone call it Middleton wood so presumably a non Lincs driver heading along the motorway at 70?

It is actually marked on an OS map (1 : 25000) as Middleton Wood!

Cheers,

Appreciate it is marked on the map but no-one local ever calls it that, hence my point that it was presumably no-one local who provided the information
