If you look on Google earth at the northern most bit of the M23 north
of the M25 just where it joins the A23 you can see what looks like an
unmetalled bit of the motorway continue over a bridge with trucks and
cars parked on it. Further on still theres a completely unused bridge
that goes over the A23 surrounded by scrubby woods.
Anyone know what this bit is used for now and was the M23 originally
supposed to have continued further north than it does now?

I don't know of a better site for this sort of thing than CBRD:
http://www.cbrd.co.uk/histories/m23/

Unless it's www.pathetic.org.uk of course, but AFAICS he doesn't cover
the "lost" M23 extension.
