Game: Name that road!

[ColinJ]

Anyway, here's the next NTR.

Name that road.

NTR

I think that you were right about the last one, but probably should have waited for confirmation because it was 99% rather than 100%?

Anyway, I think your entry is the very well-known Eight Twenty Road?

A.K.A. Our First Duplicate Road!

It's New Lane, Scammonden water

But I guess Colin is right with "Eight Twenty Road", just that I don't understand why!

Your memory must be as bad as mine...

I posted virtually the same picture HERE on August 18th 2020 and you identified it that time too!

@GuyBoden tackled that road with me, @Dadam, and my pal Bill on Sunday.

 

[ColinJ]

If I hadn't previously posted that road I would have done the decent thing and let the rest of you have a go, since Guy obviously knows that I know it!

I will get on my laptop later and post another picture.

First we need to know why "Eight Twenty Road"?

But, well done @ColinJ

I didn't look to see if the NTR had been posted previously.

It was such an enjoyable cycle on Sunday, I thought that a NTR tribute was needed.

Our two pictures show very different Scammonden seasons, but not as sunny as our excellent Sunday ride.

This must be its third appearance then...

Third, tell me more?

Surely then it should have been "Eighteen Eight Twenty Twenty Road"?

I think you might have to be disqualified.

Ah well, that's plenty of time for me to have forgotten all about it!

I hope you have guessed that I am wrong again, but very close.

Edit:
I'm using OS maps, looking near Worcestershire for "Dismantled Railway". Then finding a road that goes under the
"Dismantled Railway" on the OS map.

Sorry, thanks, I didn't look at the March 2009 picture.

Using old photos makes the game even more difficult.

Correct. Well done. The brickwork inside the arch is wonderful to behold. A skew bridge no less. Trains haven't run over that bridge for a very long time.

Seems a very wide bridge for what was a single track railway (Worcester-Leominster), presumably built with grand ideas that were were never fulfilled.

That would have been too easy!

I am finally on my laptop and trying to think of a road that I haven't posted before. I could obviously think of hundreds of obscure lanes but I am trying to pick something a bit more interesting. The thing is... compared to some of you, I don't really go to lots of places so it is difficult not to repeat myself!

Back soon-ish...

I thought that I had featured this one before but a search through my posts in this thread didn't find it. So... Name That Road!
