Links to Other Websites
The following
links are related to roads and street furniture, or have material
related to the subject.
Local Interest
Cottontown
Nick
Harling's website concentrates on the history of Blackburn, from its
early beginnings right through to the present day - also is home to a
lot of archive material that the town has. Well worth a read, and
contains many excellent road photos of Blackburn/Darwen.
East Lancashire.com
Photographs
of various developments in Blackburn/Darwen and the surrounding area.
North West Streetlighting
Russell Oakes
presents a streetlight enthusiast site focused on the North West.
Lancashire
Historic Highways
Lancashire
County Council's website contains information on the region's
motorways and an interesting article on the A580 East Lancashire Road.
SpeedLIMIT
Peter
Edwardson writes about what is going wrong with road safety and
promotes more logical and reasoned solutions to the problem.
Route 6
Ian
Wilson's site is full of excellent observations about the development
of the M6 and A6 corridors throughout the country, but the Lancashire
section is well worth a visit.
National
Interest
CBRD
Chris
Marshall's site features the legendary Motorway Database, original
motorways plans, simulators, and more roads stuff than you can shake a
finger-post at.
UK Roads
Paul Berry's
website, with a list of lost motorways, ring roads, and an extension of
the M18...
The
SABRE Community
The SABRE
Community is the only online community that discusses roads in Britain
as its core subject. The people are friendly, the chats are friendly
(and I help run them), and there's plenty of banter on the site!
Pathetic
Motorways
Pathetic
Motorways is run by Steven Jukes, and features the lesser
motorways of the UK. Well worth a look if you'd like to read
photo-documentaries of the A6144(M) or the M898, or maybe even the
Walton Summit Motorway.
English Street
Lighting
Mike
Barford's collection of lights and lanterns, complete with old light
photos. Very Derby-centric, but excellent material and resources for
any street light fanatic.
Major Roads of
Great Britain
Richard Green
owns what is probably the oldest UK roads website on the web. It's
entirely text based, but with plenty of humour and interesting articles.
Ben's Roads
Ben
Jenkinson, of the Teeside area, has a fledgling roads site with
information on service areas and such like.
The
Motorway Archive
Peter
Hewitt's archive explains the motorway network's construction from
start to end - fantastic stuff - Peter himself worked on the Preston
Bypass in the late 1950s, and is therefore a part of road history
forever.
Transport
Campaigns
The ABD
The
Association of British Drivers fights for motorists rights, and an end
to speed camera 'abuse' - ie, revenue generation. Controversial
organisation, but some good points raised in the site.
Transport
2000
Transport
2000 campaign for better public transport, but sadly, at the cost of
other road users. Again, a controversial site with some twaddle, but
generally sensible points. The exact opposite of the ABD when it comes
to speed cameras, though.
Learn-2-Live
Promotes the
idea that new drivers should have motorway lessons before they should
be allowed onto a motorway - also shows the results of bad motorway
driving...
