An 18th-century farm in West Yorkshire remains intact after the M62 motorway was rerouted around it due to unstable ground discovered in the 1960s.
Stott Hall Farm, an 18th-century farmhouse in West Yorkshire, famously stands in the middle of the M62 motorway after a 1960s geological survey revealed unstable ground, preventing demolition.
Engineers instead routed the highway around the property.
Farmed since 1737 and home to the Wild family from 1934, it lost roughly 70 acres but remained intact.
In 2009, Jill and Phil Thorp purchased the farm, living there with their son.
Despite heavy traffic, air quality stays relatively low, and the site has become an enduring symbol of engineering compromise and rural resilience.
