Gallery:A127
Note the very long slips. The road in right foreground is and old section of A128 that used to cross the A127 here at an at-grade roundabout.

The flyover was obviously a temporary structure, being only S2 and quite bumpy! The A127 Southend Arterial Road and the A12 Eastern Avenue west of here were built at about the same time (1920s or thereabout). To the left we are just about to pick up the original roman route from Colchester to London, while to the right the original route and former A12 heads southwest towards Romford as the A118 Main Road.

Taken from high-rise behind the old shopping arcade. Pedstrianisation was already taking place of the High Street.
Among the MA60s on the slip roads leading on and off the A12 Eastern Avenue at Gallows Corner is this single surviving GEC Brick, which would be the original lantern to this column. The others have been gradually replaced by gear-in-shoe MA60s over the years. There is, however, one surviving example on the opposite slip road as well, although it is rather shrouded in trees.

The 1970's new grade separated junction is now half a mile to the east and the slips from that are very long and cross in the middleground of the picture. The pub at back is the Halfway House and the new junction is still called by this name.
