It's not even the highest Motorway in England Colbert

I wonder if the apex of the M62 has a sign?

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Fri Mar 18, 2022 2:42 pm

Yes, I couldn't find it on Google maps in 2 minutes so I gave up.

This woman resolutely walking off Stansted Airport, presumably to save her lift the pickup waiting charge.

Not sure which one number 3 is though, or if it's still there.

I found the eastbound snow gates on the A66, btw, by the expedient of driving along it a couple of months ago. But I've forgotten where they were again.

I was Google Street Viewing in that exact area yesterday as I read that the Perry Barr flyover had been demolished and that part of the A34 was now at ground level.

I was also looking for a mosque nearby I remember driving past about 20 years ago which I'm sure was called the Saddam Hussein something or other, but it appears to have been renamed, or has gone.

A row of 17 surviving, highly original, corrugated 1940s prefabs on a residential street in Birmingham.

Chelmsford has a number of those, I used to go past them often when learning to drive 35 years ago.

Terraced/semi detached prefabs! I've never seen them like that before. happy

It reminds me of the time I excitedly spotted these rare three storey versions of the oft-seen "Cornish Unit" prefabricated house, not a million miles from my locality.

by Fangirl Three Sat Aug 06, 2022 2:58 pm

I didn't realise multi-floor prefabs existed.

More of them, in Hereford.

This small patch of grass, a bench and three trees within black railings on the edge of the town of Burntwood in Staffordshire (in between Cannock and Lichfield) is officially the smallest park in the UK, as recognised by the Guinness Book of Records.

In 2013, the park was the venue for the World's Shortest Fun Run. creep

Slug Road

Slug Road is one of the main routes in and out of Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire, and according to my calculations is 13 miles long, going off north west into the wilderness beyond the town.

Gosh, usually stuff from Absolutely gets yanked from Youtube as soon as it appears.
