The A120 (before and after construction). The first picture shows a field (future A120) near Little Dunmow, Essex. The second picture shows that what was a field is now the A120. The tree links both pictures.

The view (looking west) at Gransmore Green, Essex. The field is to become the B1417 as part of the A120 Stansted to Braintree dualling scheme.

One for the technical guys - could these photos be added to the wiki or gallery so they don't just get buried in this forum

Before it got to the technical guys do you not think we should ask the user? Although he has posted on a public forum, he retains control with edit/delete. It’s not a given that he wants them added that’s all.

The A12 at Leytonstone (before and after construction). The pictures show the view from Cathall Road, Leytonstone before and after construction of the A12. The first picture shows houses next to the tube that are due to be demolished to make way for the A12. The second picture shows the same view after the A12 has been completed.

The continued development of the Lakeside Shopping Centre, West Thurrock, Essex. The first picture shows the A126 and Lakeside Shopping Centre in the 1990s. The second picture shows the same view in the 2000s. A footbridge has been constructed over the A126 to link to Chafford Hundred Railway Station and what was a surface car park at the Lakeside Shopping Centre is now multi storey.
