South East England Road Photos

South East England Road Photos

Shows pictures of places where new roads have been built showing what the place looked like before the road was built and again after its completion.

Example Scheme

A121 Cheshunt link road

The A121 was constructed in the late 1990s. The daul carriageway is only 1/2 mile long but a few houses in Hedworth avenue and Leven close had to be demolished to make way for the new road.

Before Completed

I have more photos of roads that I hope to put up here when time allows.

Why?

I did this because my favourite pastime is taking pictures of places which are going to change in the near future. After 2 or 3 years I go back to the same place to see how much it has changed and I take the same picture and then I compare the before and after pictures to see exactly how much things have changed, the results are usually quite impressive. Many buildings are shown on both the before and after pictures even though a new road has been constructed, a good example of this is the A130 at Down House farm near Chelmsford. Other roads are featured (most in south east England). I hope you enjoy looking at my website as much as I enjoyed creating it.
