Context

It's not clear why the HSBC bank (then still better known as the Midland Bank to the UK market) had such a keen interest in the proposals for a major motorway interchange at Elmer's End in West London, but there are several files in the HLG 159 series that show they sent representatives to the GLDP inquiry on the matter.

Elmer's End was the site of the proposed interchange between Ringway 2's Southern Section and Parkway E, which is better known to us as SCRPDR. This file contains detailed plans of the junction, which includes one of the very few places that we can accurately pin down the location of the elusive SCRPDR.

Contents of note

Plans of the motorway-motorway interchange and of a junction between Ringway 2 and a local road just to the north-east.
