Cuerden embankment, view east, 2 June 1997

Cuerden embankment, view east (see all photos of the same view)

This view shows the state of construction works from the M6 (at the bottom of the picture) through to the M61. For the most part two carriageways can now be seen in some state of construction; the parts least developed appear to be at Cuerden embankment and Tramway Lane.

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.
