Village street, Londonderry.
Strange how these rendered and painted cottages in Londonderry North Yorkshire look as though they might belong in Londonderry NI. Brick or stone would be more usual here. Londonderry has been bypassed by the A1 and is now a 'dead end' village.

Crosby House
Originally built as The Cleaveland Arms Coaching Inn, for weary travellers heading up & down the Great North Road. It ceased to be a public house in the early 20thC but it is still a fine building.
The A1 bypassed Londonderry in the 1960s when it was turned into a dual carriageway.

Londonderry
Londonderry used to straddle the Great North Road until the Leeming by-pass was opened in the early 1960s. Traffic is now much lighter !

Londonderry - The Yorkshire Version
It does actually take its name from the city in Northern Ireland.
This used to be on the Great North Road, but has been reduced to a dead end that serves the village only - since the upgrading of the A1 to motorway status.
This has strangled the life and business from the community, which has now the rather run down look of yesteryear.

Milepost on old A1 at Londonderry
One of the earliest mileposts made by Mattisons of Bedale when roads were cared for by Highways Districts. Conventionally when travelling towards a milepost the name of the next town is indicated on that face. On a few of these posts the hands were cast pointing the wrong way and a new correct hand was fixed over the wrong one.
Now on a dead end section of road.

Londonderry Lodge
Trucker's heaven with mountainous meals, giant mugs of tea and a bed for the night. Londonderry Lodge is a 'pit stop' for trucks on the A1.
