The shot of choice here is the northbound shot with the football ground back drop, however the sun is less than kind to this with the shot only available in the early morning, southbound shots are available from mid afternoon onwards. The shot distance to the M6, and the busy A444, means that this location suffers from constant background noise that may not make it suitable for videographers.
