## Resource

Forget the legend of the stubborn farmer—this iconic farm in the middle of the M62 wasn’t saved by defiance, but by geology. Engineers rerouted the motorway around a hidden fault line beneath the farmhouse, not because Ken Wild refused to budge, but because blasting through it was too risky. The Wilds didn’t mind the disruption—though Beth did complain about the dust. Today’s owners, Jill and Phil, renovated the historic home, found surprisingly low pollution levels, and admit the noise is constant—but they love the unique view. Locals call it bleak; they call it beautiful.
