Yes, as similar "Unlocated" photos , this is the Western Avenue running from west London out to Denham in Bucks. This is the last stretch, from Ickenham roundabout (at top) to the Denham roundabout (out of picture at bottom=)The bridge continued for many years to carry only one carriageway! |

Thanks for the pins to fix the location. You may be interested to know that the original Aerofilms Ltd Register entry for this group of images of the A40 is "Road Construction." We'll update the catalogue record for the image and post the new data here in due course. Yours, Katy Britain from Above Cataloguing Team Leader |
