I have no idea what the purpose or intention is, for the huge metallic construction that has appeared here recently.

Northern end of Coulsdon Inner Relief Road
Seven years of devastation has been endured and sixteen perfectly good houses demolished in order to create this traffic jam. To see a picture from almost the same viewpoint taken four years earlier, in 2003

North end of Coulsdon Inner Relief Road
After a light powdering of snow. This traffic is southbound. The bus will turn right to serve Coulsdon Town Centre, while the other traffic will use the bypass to avoid the centre.

Mechanical Horse
The mechanical horse was a vehicle much used by railway goods departments from the 1930s as real horses were being phased out. They lasted well into British Railways days. Fortunately this fine example was preserved.

Class 'ST' bus
STs have not run in London passenger service since the immediate postwar years, but this fine preserved example was seen in the Historic Commercial Vehicle rally. Interestingly it displays blinds for Route 59, a number associated with the Croydon area for many years.

Ipswich Corporation bus
The Corporation Bus was a reliable and re-assuring part of life in Britain's provincial towns and cities, which seemed in many ways to be a permanent fixture. Now all are gone, swept away in the early 1980s by a tide of Thatcherisation. A few, like this excellent example from Ipswich, were preserved and appear occasionally to remind us what a nice place England used to be.

North end of Coulsdon Bypass
About two years ago, this bypass opened for traffic. The northern junction with the A23 has not proved very successful. On Monday 25 January 2010 work will begin to alter this junction, so these photographs are designed to record the appearance of the junction before work begins.
This is looking northeast from the Coulsdon shopping area. The Methodist Church is on the right.

This is looking north towards the existing A23. The bypass is behind the camera to the right. Methodist Church of the right.
