Riley Green interchange, view north, 14 February 1997

Riley Green interchange, view north (see all photos of the same view)

There's a lot of activity at Riley Green in this picture - it looks like a major effort to complete the two bridges so that the motorway can finally be laid across the top. At the upper right, it looks like an area of an adjacent field was in use for construction work for a time. This has now been re-levelled.

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.

Alley by gaslight

Some of Central London's quieter streets are still, surprisingly, lit by old and rather beautiful gas lanterns. Here are a few, by day and by night.
