Stott Hall Farm

[1][2][3][4][5][6] It is the only farm in the UK situated in the middle of a motorway[7] and was built in the 18th century on Moss Moor.

It lies south of Booth Wood Reservoir where the carriageways are separated between junctions 22 and 23.

[8][9][10] The road divides for much of its length between the Windy Hill and Deanhead cuttings because of the surrounding geography; but a myth[11] persists that it was split because Ken and Beth Wild refused to sell.

[citation needed] It is one of the ten best-known sights on the motorway network.

[16] It is referenced, though not by name, in the John Shuttleworth song titled "The Man Who Lives on the M62".
