An old sepia photograph from the golden age of motoring, way back in......1998. Heading north towards Newbury on what is now the B4640.

Blackfirs Lane in 1996 - Blackfirs Lane, Solihull taken in 1996 showing the road narrowed to S1 after it was closed to traffic. I'm not sure when this took place but the grass on the right looks well established. Today I suspect it's even more overgrown.
EDIT- this is now on Google Street View and the vegetation is completely overgrown.

A41 Berkhamstead Bypass
A 1996 view of the fresh looking bypass looking towards Aylesbury. I'm surprised Philips MA lanterns were used considering SON was already becoming dominant at the time.

Construction of the A5 Ty Nant cutting in May 1995 just to the south-east of the failed slope. The drilling rig is installing ground anchors to tie together the faulted blocks of Silurian mudstone. One of the anchors can be seen protruding from a freshly-drilled hole just above the rig. The flat, triangular areas on the rock face are the outcrops of the faults which ultimately overcame the ground anchors and slipped again. A classic tale of ingenuity overcome by the complexity of real ground conditions. The image was captured, with permission, during an excursion of the North Wales Geology Association.
