The first few seconds coming into the Brighton on the A23 reminded me that it was 3 lanes. One lane northbound, one lane southbound and the middle lane was the overtaking lane .....FOR BOTH DIRECTIONS !!!!!

Got to hate what 60s architecture and the clearances it required did to our towns and cities.

Great footage of Jev's garden notably at 5.50. Features again at 9.20. Fascinating film. Look how our city (town) centre gardens used to look!

wide enough for three lanes, with cars going in opposing directions overtaking using the middle.
