Edge of a roundabout
The rebar is part of the marked out roundabout. The spoil heap on the right is where I stood to take a lot of the photos. Behind it you can see Pauls Malt or the ABM as we knew it. This was demolished a few years ago and is now a housing estate.

Better view
Better view of the two roundabouts prior to being opened. The old bus was used to take people to Wallingford after they came to Cholsey on the steam train.

The Wallingford road just became shorter
After over 150 years of being a long straight road it has just lost 200 yds shorter. See I still get my cars in the photo.

Cut off field
The problem with building a bypass is some of the land is cut off as you can see to the left.

Taking shape
The good thing about the building of the bypass was the huge mound of earth by the Wallingford road gives a good view of the roundabouts.

Out for a Sunday stroll
People out for a Sunday walk on the new bridge prior to tarmac being put down. It was quite an attraction for a while, people from both sides of the river being able to walk across.
