The view from ground level  The car arrowed in the centre is my mates 1956 Hillman Minx that we went in that year ('65, '66 or '67). Lynx's photo is even earlier though - I don't ever remember a bridge being there. It looks like that was before the old tunnel was built. As you can see from both pics, the N23 used to be one of the main car parks Del |

I'm with Pam. It's Indianapolis. Arnage corner is just off the left-hand edge of the photo.
