View east from Marsh Farm to Stanworth Farm, 2 June 1997

View east from Marsh Farm to Stanworth Farm (see all photos of the same view)

Marsh Farm bridge is the one nearest the bottom of this picture. From this vantage point, the motorway can be seen through to Stanworth, where contract 2 begins, and then away into the distance. It vanishes over the hilltop near Tockholes about 4km (2.5 miles) away.

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.
