View west from Leeds-Liverpool Canal underbridge to Sandy Lane, 10 January 1996

View west from Leeds-Liverpool Canal underbridge to Sandy Lane (see all photos of the same view)

The canal bridge is substantially complete; in the distance Marsh Lane bridge is still having its foundations excavated. In the middle of the picture, the shape of the embankment carrying the M65 is now clear, and it is much wider and taller than it strictly needs to be: on both sides, the height of the embankment is built up above the level of the motorway, so the road is partially shielded from its surroundings.

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.
