Items related to A 272 : An Ode to a Road
The A272 runs from Poundford to Winchester and a lot beyond, between the North and South Downs. To some people it is "a lovely lane"; to others "the worst b****y road in the south". To Dutchman Pieter Boogaart it is the Epitome of England. This book is written and designed to prove his point.
