01228 Bristol Ring Road - Magpie Bottom

            Even into the 1990s, small relics of Bristol's proposed road plans from the late 1960s cropped up on maps. Here we see a proposed road heading north from the A431 through Magpie Bottom, right on the border between Bristol City Council and South Gloucestershire. That road is on the line of the originally proposed Bristol Ring Road - the precursor to the modern-day Avon Ring Road. It would've sailed over the River Avon at Conham, continued on the line shown here and headed along upgraded existing streets to Bromley Heath Roundabout on the current A4174. Magpie Bottom is today a quiet piece of parkland, a far cry from what it could've been!

Taken from an A-Z Premier Map of Bristol (Edition 5) from 1993.
