TypeEphemera (see all artefacts)

The downgrading of the UK's only fully single-carriageway motorway was an emotional affair. Assisted by two members of SABRE I managed to rescue some artifacts from the road before they made it to the scrap heap.

Pictured (with me) are...

  • A6144(M) start-of-restrictions sign
  • "Motorway regulations apply / For emergency use only" sign from the westbound lay-by
  • Two marker posts, thought to be from the westbound track, at 0.02km and 0.04km respectively. One marker post is now held by Steven Jukes.
