The bypass is in this picture so it must late 80s early 90s.
Leigh, Thanks for pointing this out. Do you recall exactly when the bypass opened? I have the date 1989 in my mind, but as an incomer my memory is not to be trusted. Best wishes, Neil Fortey
The Bottesford bypass opened on 6th February 1989 14 weeks ahead of schedule relieving the community of 6000 vehicles a day one third of which were heavy goods vehicles.
