taken 10 years ago, near to Sutton on Trent, Nottinghamshire, England
Site of level crossing, Sutton-on-Trent
Here the Old Great North Road crossed the East Coast Main Line. The crossing keepers' building was a double cottage, presumably reflecting the importance of both road and railway. Now named The Old Station House, although this is strictly incorrect.
A1 & A1(M), Great North Road
The A1 is the longest numbered road in the UK at 410 miles long. It connects London with Edinburgh, via the east of England.
For much of its path it follows the Great North Road the old coaching route between London and Edinburgh. Several sections of the route are classified as motorway A1(M). The modern A1 bypasses the towns the Great North Road passed through and is dual carriageway for most of its route through England.
