The changing road through East Norton from the Turnpike to the A47 by-pass.

Comparison photos of the approach to East Norton village from the East.

The date of the photo on the above left is not known, but taken long before the straightening of the old Uppingham Road which created a service road to these cottages. The photo on the above right was taken in August 2007 well after the by-pass had removed heavy traffic from the village.

Similarly the date of the photo below left showing the old Uppingham Road by the church is not known, but the photo below right shows the view from a similar position in August 2007. Note how much the road has been widened and re-aligned over the years, and a footway created alongside.
