Seriously closed road in Brimpton Unlike in London there was notice of the road closure a couple of miles east, I had no idea which road though and no idea of an alternative, and was very lucky it was the only road on the route I wasn't going to use but turned off where the diversion was anyway. I may have become extremely confused otherwise as I am totally unfamiliar with the area. Brimpton Memorial is on the left.
