“Another piece of old film I’ve managed to save from an old video tape made whilst driving home from work in Andover back in the mid 1980’s. Entering Highclere, through the village and as far as Blind Man’s Gate. A lot has changed since then I think!”

Driving From Highclere To Wash Water, 1985
Driving the A343 from Highclere to Wash Water. Approx 1985: Uploaded to YouTube on 19 Nov 2017 by David Garside
“I travelled this road regularly from late 1977 to 1996, sometimes with a colleague and sometimes by myself. There were many changes along here over the years, notably the absence of the A34, and i’m glad now that some of these drives were filmed.”
