Oldbury Lane, old and new

Image: © Ruth Riddle Taken: 7 Dec 2011

When Oldbury Nuclear Power Station was built, Oldbury Lane was upgraded, and in places slightly re-routed. Here, the old course of the road can be seen straight ahead, whilst the new road curves round to the left more smoothly on the right hand side of the picture.
