B3075 straight across Gore Heath - Coppermine - 17435.jpg
B3075 straight across Gore Heath This is the view from the top of the hill at Sandford, Dorset, looking down the dead-straight B3075 towards Morden Park Corner.

Bridleway to Westley Wood
The bridleway goes off to the left and the sign can be seen in the centre. The tree trunks are not blocking it, but are probably there to deter off-roaders. The road ahead leads to the A31.
Morden- detail of Cock and Bottle finger-post - Geograph - 1752520.jpg
Morden- detail of Cock & Bottle finger-post A close-up of the finial of the finger-post, giving location and grid reference details. It will be noted that the grid reference SY 913 946 is written in full, without the SY prefix, as 3913 0946. Therefore, while the correct three digits have been used for the easting, the northing should read 946 and not 094 as given on the sign.
Morden- old-fashioned finger post - Geograph - 1318894.jpg
Morden- old-fashioned finger post This finger post retains its original Dorset finial, giving location and grid reference details. The location, 'Cock & Bottle', refers to the pub diagonally opposite on the left. The grid reference appears to be wrong, however ??? for a close-up see ??? the first three digits, 913, are correct but the wrong three digits have been selected for the second half. Given as 094, it should say 946.
Morden- detail of signpost at Park Corner - Geograph - 1752525.jpg
Morden- detail of signpost at Park Corner A close-up of the finial from the original finger-post, giving location and grid reference details, which has been retained and affixed to standard modern signage.
Morden- Park Corner - Geograph - 1752524.jpg
Morden- Park Corner A busy and hazardous crossroads at the northeast corner of Morden Park, which gives the junction its name. The slightly staggered junction of the B3075 along with the bend in the A35 at this point, hinders visibility in all directions. Today, there are temporary traffic lights governing the junction, although there is no sign of roadworks ??? so perhaps it's an experiment to see if lights would improve the junction's safety. Note that the modern signage retains the traditional finial from the original finger-post ??? giving location and grid reference.
