Looks peaceful and quiet in this picture but in reality Lairgate is one of the busiest streets in this medieval town. It forms part of the main route from the Humber Bridge in the south to Driffield in the north, the A164. Heavy traffic winds and grinds its way through the town, through narrow streets, such as Hengate, that are plainly not up to the task. So Beverley is to get a relief road, a southern by-pass which will cut across the green belt between Cottingham and Beverley. It will, of course, only be a matter of time before Beverley expands outwards to this pass-by, but that's what passes for progress these days and if people want to build their homes on a flood plain who is to stop them?

ReplyDeleteMay I suggest God or perhaps Dave Lee Travis.
It's about time they took the heavy traffic out of Beverley.
Bypasses here inevitably get absorbed into the town they were meant to pass as well. I like the architecture around the street.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely. Looks like a place worth visiting.
