M25 B 93.2 [mad bridge] – contains a series of photographs taken by Phil Coy on 17th July 2019. They document land ownership parcel: 11648; a plot designated for redevelopment as part of the construction of Heathrow Third Runway expansion.
This particular land ownership parcel is located between Heathrow Airport’s western perimeter, the anti-clockwise carriageway of the M25 at driver location point M25 B 93.2, and the Bath Road bridge over the Wraysbury River and M25. The site also encloses the disused Mad Bridge section of Bath Road bridging the Wraysbury River.
