In 1994 I was driving down Abbey Road from my home in Kilburn. I was shocked to find that the road was being resurfaced using heavy machinery, and the crossing, made famous by The Beatles album, was in the process of being destroyed. The workmen gave me permission to remove some fragments. They had no idea of the iconic landmark they were destroying. The metal road stud is one from a line which ran down either side of the crossing. The replacement crossing did not have metal road studs. The other fragments are tarmac salvaged from the original crossing itself. I took the photographs at the time when the crossing was in the process of being removed. The council later confirmed that the road had not been resurfaced since the 1960s’.
