Gallery:A118
The only sign in the whole world to show Griggs Approach as an A-road! This is actually on u/c Riches Road running a very short distance parallel to the A118 (to the right). But, note that according to this sign, you can go anti-clockwise to get to the A118 westbound!!!

Junction of A12 and A127, with the temporary flyover (now over 30 years old!). Photo taken in Straight Road looking south.
Main Road in Romford, Havering is lit by some more of those 1970s columns seen with Urbis ZXs on London Road, but this time with Thorn Alpha 8 MK IIIs installed. I've a feeling these replaced MA90s, as I've pictured another column further along at Gallows Corner with one installed already, but I could be wrong. These were probably installed between 2000 and 2004, as I think that's when the lantern (in the form of the WRTL MRL8) was discontinued by WRTL. These are certainly very smart installations indeed!

Originally uploaded to Coppermine on Apr 13, 2009 by YorklettsWaterloo Road, part of the Romford Ring Road, is lit by these ever fantastic MA60s installed on yet more classic installations! This time, they're giant hockeysticks that look a bit like octagonal steel columns, but I think these are of Fabrikat rather than Stainton manufacture! There are also plenty of recent casual replacements in the form of more MA60s, which is always good to see!
