New Motorway Through Woodford (1972)

Woodford, London

Medium shot of busy a-road (M11) showing two lanes one of which is moving freely while the other is stuffed with cars either slow moving or boxed up in traffic. Various shots of traffic slowly converging upon the Woodford roundabout. Long-shot of children's playing ground camera pans right to show the densely populated area of Woodford. High angle panning shots of tower block and busy road (A11).

Note: Researcher indicates that this is the A406 and Hermon Hill, shot in the general vicinity of the M11, but does not show the M11 itself.
