The ADS on the A361 heading towards Barnstaple. Note the gap at the top. It once said 'Brannoc Fibres' - a major factory and the reason why Velator Way was built. But it closed, and we're now left with a road to, well, nowhere. 2048x1536 2006-04-05 10:54:30 |
The junction between Velator Way and the A361, looking towards Chivenor. 448x336 2006-03-29 10:51:22 |
The fingerpost signs also have the space at the top. 2048x1536 2006-03-29 10:52:13 |
This road looks quite major, with clearway restrictions and cycle lanes. 2048x1536 2006-03-29 10:52:30 |
Looking back towards the A361. 2048x1536 2006-03-29 10:52:56 |
The cycle lanes are unusual - almost like a dual carriageway, Cyclists are encouraged to cycle on the left hand pavement (depending on direction of travel), with the right hand pavement having these signs. 2048x1536 2006-03-29 10:53:17 |
Major looking road - but not a car to be seen! 2048x1536 2006-03-29 10:53:38 |
Even the cycle symbols on the pavement face the right way! 2048x1536 2006-03-29 10:53:56 |
A rare feature - a traffic island. 2048x1536 2006-03-29 10:54:27 |
Roundaout up ahead - note the 'empty space' from previous signs has disappeared. This is because the old factory was accessed by a road going off to the right - which would have probably had a different sign. 2048x1536 2006-03-29 10:56:27 |
The roundabout up ahead. 2048x1536 2006-03-29 10:57:19 |
Looking back towards the A361. Look, a car! 2048x1536 2006-03-29 10:57:31 |
This sign claims that the road is actually part of the A361, when infact it's just unclassified. 2048x1536 2006-03-29 10:57:57 |
This sign tells us to go to Braunton along South Street - even tough the residents have been complaining for ages that their road is being used as a rat run! 2048x1536 2006-03-29 10:58:44 |
This design of roundabout is common in north Devon - it allows lorries to get around easier with the brick circle. 2048x1536 2006-03-29 10:58:58 |
South Street goes off to the right - and the abandoned road carries on behind the concete barriers and the parked cars (which are breaking the law as we're still on a clearway - and one of them's mine!) 2048x1536 2006-03-29 11:00:36 |
the concrete barriers preventing further vehicular access - but pedestrians can still get past. 2048x1536 2006-03-29 11:01:06 |
Looking back towards the roundabout and barriers. 2048x1536 2006-03-29 11:01:37 |
Over a new bridge passing over the River Caen, which hasn't been used a lot. 2048x1536 2006-03-29 11:01:57 |
This is where the road ends - at the site of the former factory. Plans have been submitted for a new supermarket here, although residents want this to be part of a southern bypass to link up to the B3231 Saunton Road. 2048x1536 2006-03-29 11:03:43 |
