Hooley Interchange (M23 J7) Revisited
9th May 2008
<-- Index | Showing 1-12 of 42 pictures | Next -->
For the first time in several years I returned today to the unfinished and also never-to-be finished Hooley Interchange at the northern end of the M23.
This time I was not alone, I was with the man from Channel 4 who was interested in filming both me and the bridge to nowhere for a short film - he is seen lurking and working in several of the photos.
These photos cover all aspects of the unfinished junction including the 'bridge-to-nowhere' and the last mile north of the M25.

Enter when ready.....
