This is now a bidirectional roundabout of roundabouts with the M40 going over the centre (from left to right) .... with rather more traffic than seen here!

This is now the site of Junction 1 of the M40. At the time of the photo Western Avenue had recently been completed. View is looking north west. It is part of a small group of photos covering the development of Western Avenue.

In 1946 (the time of the photo) this chunk of the Western Avenue had NOT been completed, in as far as it was only a single carriageway, the uncompleted half can be seen in all relevant photos. It stayed that way for several years

Thanks for the information to fix the location. You may be interested to know that the original Aerofilms Ltd Register entry for this image is "Road Construction" We'll update the catalogue record for the image and post the new data here in due course.
