Mam Tor A625

DATE : 24th January 2006









Mam Tor , the road is the old A625 and leads direct to the subsided road section


The road originaly was twin lane and was replaced by a single lane stretch after the first landslip


But even the single lane road was destroyed by further landslips


The difference in height between the road sections indicates how much slippage has occured


Another view of the slip with Mam Tor in the background


A view of the slippage from above


Further up the whole of the eastern bank has fallen away


The road has also fallen and has detatched away from the upper section


On closer inspection the damage looks quite considerable


And again from further up


A considerable section of the road has disappeared from this part


From here there is an excellent view of Mam Tor


Would you trust this road ?
