Looking westwards along London Road Without doubt the biggest event in Hindhead's history was the building of the Hindhead Tunnel, before which this was a notorious bottleneck on the A3. Without doubt the biggest event in the UK was the death of Queen Elizabeth II after 70 years on the throne; although new Prime Minister Liz Truss and her chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng ran it close by introducing a "fiscal event" that saw markets react negatively and wipe out any benefits. On the world stage, Vladimir Putin held spurious referendums in 4 areas he had won from Ukraine, and announced that these would now be part of Russia in perpetuity. The Italians and Swedes chose parties of the right to form their next governments. And in outer space, NASA crashed a spacecraft into an asteroid to see if this could be done if it were ever really needed.

Midsummer morning in Wood Road This year I am going to try and take a photo on all the days that end in 1. As well as this I shall say how many photos the site (and I) have bagged in 2023. For example, early on January 2nd I used the advanced search facility to discover that so far the site has 200 images for 2023 and I have 5. This I shall record from now on in the picture description.

Work in Progress With the opening of the new Hindhead Tunnel at the end of July 2011, work was not long in starting on altering the old A3. The section between Hindhead Crossroads and Hazel Grove interchange is now the A333, and here we see work underway to convert the Grayshott junction to a mini-roundabout, the top deck of a Stagecoach bus providing an ample viewpoint. East of the Hindhead crossroads, a short section of the old A3 is to be retained as far as the Devil's Punch Bowl car park, with the rest of the road to be ripped up and returned to nature.
