Has anyone actually looked at the links i posted? Specifically, the second
one?
Well I have for one and it's a complete work of fiction. I'm surprised
no one else has commented already. The straight roman road that it shows
crossing the Thames and heading into Victoria
You mean Porto. The road shown on the map terminates in Porto. In
Portugal. Having crossed London, southern England, the English Channel,
France, the Bay of Biscay, and northern Spain.
No I don't mean Porto. I am talking about the northern end where a
dual carriageway is shown carving through south west London (and
further afield) and into central London. I don't think it is a simple
error as someone has gone to the trouble of merging this ficticious
road with the other real roads and moving the street names as well. I
can't understand why anyone should want to waste their time doing so.
