Gorton Brook culvert, view west, 10 January 1996

Gorton Brook culvert, view west (see all photos of the same view)

In the foreground, the underpass at Gorton Brook is visible, now half-covered by earth. The state of the deck on the M61 viaduct can be seen from here, with some sections complete and others yet to be started. In the middle of the picture a formidable array of heavy plant are parked up, presumably for some major earthmoving operation that is about to begin.

What's new

Hello, here's my ridiculous side project

An introduction to what I write, and why I write it, and where my strange new road sign simulator fits in to all this.

London, in a new light

It was specially designed never to be noticed. And now it's disappearing, nobody has noticed its absence. It's London's own bespoke street light.

The Ringways Map is here

The wait is over! The full map of the Ringways, London’s unbuilt urban motorway network, is now online. Not even the system's planners had anything like this.
