Past Present and in Between in Pictures (Part 1)

Used to pass this every day going to and coming from work to avoid the Bypass (some bypass it was always chocka) The bottom of the road looks right but the top end doesn’t have a bend like that anymore but this could have been altered, the main gate house does ring a bell. Ah yes just checked an old map its taken further down the road than you need to go now, today you don’t go as far down and instead turn onto Nest Rd which brings you out opposite Shorts yard. Back when the pic was taken Nest Rd didn’t join Stoneygate Lane where Int Paints is located and you had to go right to the bottom to Tyne St, that’s the junction at the bottom on the pic. BRS must have had the job sown up then although I recall my Father going in and out of there when he drove for Steenberg’s. Interesting photo I’ve scanned the old map view and the stretch in red line is now Nest Rd. Franky.
