The song which echoed from the radio on that day in 1966 (I can now place the date of the trip I've checked the 1960's music charts to find out when it was a hit) was 'River Deep Mountain High' by Ike and Tina Turner - the association with rivers and mountains was obvious - Phil Spector's echoey wall of sound was as big as the bank of clouds about to empty another downpour onto the Lancashire landscape. When the coach arrived back at Bullocks coach depot in Cheadle I left my Beano's and Dandy's on the back seat, something which still upsets me today. from www.manchesteronline.co.uk/ewm/001ewm/033_magicofman/ |

Pen-y-ghent, the 2,273 feet high hill near Settle, North Yorkshire is however one of the most famous peaks of the Pennines. Pen-y-ghent is one of the oldest names in the Pennines and a clue to the origin of the name may be gained by looking it up in the Atlas. Here we can find Pen-y-fan Pen y Gadair, Pen y Gaer, Pen y Parc, Pen y Rhwbyn and many other names beginning in this similar fashion. In this list Pen-y-ghent is very much the odd one out because it is found in England - all the others are Welsh. Pen-y-ghent's name is Welsh and is a reminder of the days of the Ancient British when most of the country we now call England spoke a language closley akin to Welsh. Pen usually means hill and y is the definite article 'the' so its name means the something hill although the order of words is different to the way it would be structured in English. The meaning of ghent is however unknown. It is known that a number of Welsh Kingdoms notably Elmet and Loidis survived in the western part of Yorkshire into early Saxon times and the name of Pen-y-ghent may be a throwback to these times. It is not unusual however for English hills to retain the word pen, which is why we have Penshaw Hill near Sunderland and Pendle Hill in Lancashire. from: www.skiptonweb.co.uk/tourist/nearby_attractions/penyghent.htm"Pen" means "HILL." "Y" means "the" |

A clover leaf exit ramp on a big highway, high atop a hill..... THE LOCATION OF THE ACCIDENT as per John Lennon. "There beneath the blue suburban skies" The other Penny Lane is very urban......... |

The rain was a condition around the time of the accident.
"It had been a typically seasonal rainy day."
Fog goes with rain.
The lights had changed------the tail lights of the other cars had changed, NOT a traffic light.
Paul may have been going the wrong way on a highway off ramp high up on a hill in the Pennine hills of Lancashire.He was headed INTO traffic, headed head on toward other speeding cars. He must have realized it, swerved, left the rampway, broke over a hill and down into a ravine or ditch, or quarry.
A highway juncture CLOSE to a quarry, or mine, or a place with holes big enough to conceal his car for days.

3.2 Recommended ‘ Alberta’ exit lane and spiral curve markings
For safety and efficiency, it is important that drivers do not change lanes withinthe circulating carriageway of a multi-lane roundabout. Drivers should be able to remain within the lane allocated to them when entering the roundabout. Exit lane and spiral curve pavement markings provide drivers with the guidance required to negotiate the roundabout, safely and efficiently.

PROBE INTO CRATER CONTINUES Engineers are set to continue their investigations into why a garden shed and an outhouse vanished down a hole on a Bloxwich housing estate. Eight residents in Coalway Road were evacuated after the 25ft-deep and 40ft-wide hole opened up and swallowed the buildings in a garden. Walsall Council chiefs said wet weather may have contributed to the subsidence. from: www.birmingham101.com/101newsjanweek4.html |
