5. Earth moving vehicles in action, preparing to block off Tenter Hill where it passed under the old A1. The new A1 was moved further west and at a lower level as a noise reducing measure and this old A1 road became the new access road to the new bridge over the new dual carriageway.

7. Photos of the new Bowcliffe Bridge under construction.
8. The old pond that was just west of the old entrance to Bramham Park and the Biggin off the Great North Road together with a photo showing how the entrance off the A1 was blocked off so that the road to the Park could only be accessed from the slip road alongside the A1 down from Bowcliffe Bridge.
9. Two photos dated December 1990 showing the old A1 being converted into the new access road in the vicinity of the Bowcliffe bridge. In the lower photograph the new A1 carriageways are visible in the background.
