Abandoned railway loop in Wembley
"Piccadilly Pilot" wrote in message
... Here's a 1950s A-Z scan, the site splits across the page. http://www.piccadillypilot.co.uk/bits/Wembley.gif I've just realised that North End Road used to stretch down to Fourth Way. When I visited North End Road last year, it ended at the river just northwest of the abandoned railway loop, and the part southeast of there had been renamed to be part of Fourth Way. Despite having a fair look around, I gained no inkling that the river had ever been bridged here. I wonder why and when the bridge was completely removed? Visiting again last week, a new bridge has been built over the river, and is already available for pedestrians, although it will be a few weeks before cars are allowed over it. As soon as it is fully opened, North End Road will be severed further west, so it will not become a through route (the purpose of the new bridge is to divert lorries heading for the industrial estate away from North End Road and into Fourth Way instead). -- John Rowland - Spamtrapped Transport Plans for the London Area, updated 2001 http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acro...69/tpftla.html A man's vehicle is a symbol of his manhood. That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line - It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes |
