A31 and A338 Old Photos

In this gallery I have some old photos of the A31 and A338 I have been sent which I wanted to share with you - so here we go. They are arranged from east-to-west.

Looking west towards the Emery Down crossroads near Stoney Cross in 1977, before it was removed.

A caravan tries to make the perilous turn towards Fritham.

Traffic on the A31 where it became single carriageway, believed to be west of the Emery Down turning.

Looking west at Picket Post, as a vehicle tries to turn right by the services before the underpass was built (1977).

The A338 Bournemouth Spur Road in about 1968, with lots of work still to be done.

Looking south from the Matchams Lane bridge in 1969, with the road nearly finished.

Some vehicles at the Blackwater junction, in 1969.
