The A120 is an east-west route across the middle of Essex, linking Stansted Airport and the M11 with the A12, Colchester and routes onwards to Harwich.
It was the UK's only single-carriageway motorway, and twenty years ago it ceased to exist. This is the story of the strange fascination it held, and of my place in history.
The very first motorway was eight miles of relief for the Lancashire town of Preston. It goes without saying that there's an interesting story to be told about it.
