Our new Facebook page shows postings of those responsible for the fiasco that's been caused by the closure of the A344 ....not only that, the fact that they're proud of it too....see the tweet from Simon Thurley - Chief Exec of English Heritage recently.....I'm at a loss on the third tweet since English Heritage were only founded in 1983!!

Mr Thurley....Prior to it's classification in 1922, There's evidence aplenty that the A344 was a Drovers road, leading pack animals and flocks/herds from the Bristol area to London and like as not when the road grading improved, conveying horse drawn coaches along the same routes e.g. Bristol>Bath>Devizes>Amesbury>Basingstoke>Camberley etc. Stands to reason, that prior to all that, and maybe even in times before Stonehenge existed, that it was a migratory pathway for ancient animals e.g. mammoths, Bison etc. Therefore Simon Thurley, take no credit for obliterating what is probably a pre-neolithic rite of passage.
Please sign our petition on: www.sh2.co.uk to dual the A303 past Stonehenge
....thank you!
