13 roundabout memories from Portsmouth and Fareham

If you are in construction, this is one for you. There are some interesting images from before and during construction of some of our well known local roundabouts that are so familiar to us now. Perhaps you were involved in one of these large construction projects?

Some of the included roundabouts are the Rudmore, Hilsea, Delme, Market Way, Quay Street and Portsbridge. It is interesting to see just how much the landscape changed to accommodate them. The images span from around 1969 through to the 1980s.
