View west from Marsh Lane to Sandy Lane (see all photos of the same view)

Marsh Lane bridge is now in use. At the very bottom of the picture, work on grading the road bed is still at an early stage: within the last three months, the old course of Marsh Lane was blocking work on this part of the route, so plant is now on site to catch up and link together the sections of motorway on each side of the bridge.

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.

M6 Preston Bypass

The "Preston By-Pass" was Britain's first motorway, opened in 1958. These books show the road as it was on opening day and share some of the thrill of this pioneering project.
