The old A11 approach. The northwards continuation is removed, as is the A1307 approach from Cambridge, on the left. The eastward A1307 remains so, 2 out of 4 arms are removed. The modern junction is in the background.

The Red Lodge garage succumbs to nature

Not many closed garages survive this long. Other plots are being built on, including the old Snug Cafe so, this may not last much longer.

Recently dualled bypass in 2008. The only remaining single carriageway section is Fiveways to Thetford interupting a fully dualled road from the M11 to Norwich

The Red Lodge Cafe, as seen through an artic. I had to resort to these tactics to get pics, due to people sitting outside, cameras being offensive weapons now apparently.

The Inn that gives this place it's name. The Inn dates from the 13th century, according to their website and, the road is called Turnpike Road so, the whole settlement seems to owe its existence to the A11 and its ancient predecessor. The cafe survives, due to full access from both sides of the new A11.

Signage for the St Stephens roundabout, at the point where the A11 ends at it's junction with the A147. It used to carry straight on along St Stephens Street before ending on Agricultural Hall Plain.

This has also survived the loss of passing traffic. It must have a good reputation and, was certainly busy during my visit.

Approach to the Totso eastbound (first part, with M11 continuing ahead towards London).

Nearer the camera is the high level Bow Flyover: just beyond is the swing bridge.
Looking east along the A11. A fine example of the effect of road building on the environment.

It is the Sussex and Kent coasts that have really missed out.
