The Great North Road - Then and Now. Its OUT!!!
7 years of work, exploration and photography. Hope you like it. Look out for the SABRE plug.
I will have copies and be doing a book signing in the model show attached to the truck show at Gaydon on 7-8 June.

Can we pin this for a while?

Shame I don't live closer to Gaydon, as this will be a very interesting read.

I would guess yes, I know the military stuff they do goes all over.

Re: The Great North Road - Then and Now. Its OUT!!!
My copy was waiting for me when I got home from work yesterday evening .
I'm only 16 pages in so far but I have to say it's already become clear the amount of work, patience and research that has gone into this. It's a real credit to you and I'm sure to be reading through this at my leisure over the coming evenings.
I wish this book every bit of success.

Re: The Great North Road - Then and Now. Its OUT!!!
I'll be ordering mine when I get things sorted out now I'm working back in the UK again. The first thing I need is a car.
How would you like your grade separations, Sir?

Is there a road improvement project going on near you? Help us to document it on the SABRE Wiki - help is available in the Digest forum.
