This gap in the A259 is peculiar. The A259 of course now runs across this and forms the notoriously bad part of the South Coast Trunk Road.
What else can you find in the 1922-23 MoT map series?

Evening all! I’m aware there’s something wrong with the website at the moment, but as I’m not in the country, unfortunately I can’t do a lot about it. Normal service will resume shortly.

Did you know that on this day in 1986 M74 Draffan to Poniel section was opened?
Did you also know that we have a YouTube channel where you can find a video of the above opening ceremony?

This is the kind of Pre-Worboys sign that should be listed to save it from being torn down. I believe this one has survived as long as it has because it was covered up by a hedge for many years.
