A30104 viewsIt used to have boards giving the mileage to London and Southampton. Ladies outside lav at rear. There were 15 cafes between Bagshot and Basingstoke until 1971. Now this is one of 2 survivors.SteveA30 (wikified)

Old A30142 viewsLooking west on the Basingstoke bypass. The road now bends to the left, before this cul-de-sac, into a huge post-M3 housing estate, built around the mid 70's.SteveA30 (wikified)

Old A30112 viewsThe rural beauty & tranquillity of.......Basingstoke. Looking west, cats eye still visible. July 1998.SteveA30 (wikified)

Old A30118 viewsLooking towards er, London. Just beyond the trees, its lost under a local GSJ for the Black Dam housing and the current D2 A30 continues online to the A33/A339 rbt. It seems almost impossible that this tarmac once heaved under continuous traffic day & night, for both A30 & A33, from London to the West Country and the South Coast. Bypassed June 1971 and rerouted within another 2 years or so.SteveA30 (wikified)

10. Old A30 Launceston. 28/6/06154 viewsThe unusual telegraph pole has been there since the 60's and probably, much longer, with its nice finial on top. The stone wall of the original bend can be seen here, by the signs.SteveA30 (wikified)

11. Convoy133 viewsAnother bunch come up. Their was no pavement on the left in A30 days, you walked behind the white wall, which always had large chunks missing and loose bricks lying around. Summer days here were chaos, as locals trying to turn right into one of the side roads had to look out for artics coming round the bend downhill, whilst waiting for a gap. Queues stretched from Lifton and back towards Okehampton, which was another bottleneck of course.SteveA30 (wikified)

12. Old A30118 viewsDownhill lorries had to go very wide to allow space for uphill ones like this. Locals coming out of the 2 turns also had to hold back from the line to keep their front wings intact!SteveA30 (wikified)
