Bassaleg Road houses near the M4 motorway, Newport
On each side of the M4 motorway, several Bassaleg Road houses, as here, are alongside a section of roadway separate from the current course of Bassaleg Road.
Bassaleg Road was realigned slightly when the motorway was built beneath it in the 1960s. On this side of the road, one house, 160 Bassaleg Road, had to be demolished to make way for the M4.
