Fareham in the 1980s: Building of the roundabout flyovers signified much change

Fareham has changed dramatically over the past four decades which these pictures of the area before the building of the Delme roundabout flyover perfectly illustrate.

These images, which include the construction work on both the Delme and Quay Street roundabouts, show a much changed area which is a key route through to both Fareham and Gosport. The construction works were carried out as part of a package of works to free up the flow of traffic leaving Gosport, in the absence of a new road to the M27.
