Talk:Brampton Hut interchange

Origins
The first Brampton Hut was surely just that - a hut. It was a place were motorcyclists used to hang out in the 1950s, as was the 1930s style cafeteria at Wansford that became a 'little chef' in the 1970s.

I remember it being a largish green shed in a sea of gravel. -- Brunnian (talk) 20:18, 25 November 2007 (UTC)


 * The stilts description has been in this article from almost the start, but is unsourced and seems odd to me. mentions 'Creamer's Hut, well known in the coaching days but nothing about stilts. The roadside cafe description as above seems more likely.  There's a 1939 film on youtube of a trip up the A1 from which can be seen an old (pre 20thC) building called Brampton Hut hotel?--FDent (talk) 18:07, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

Suitability of photo
The single photo of fields is attractive, but hardly illustrates the subject. Brampton Hut is a major road junction and a service area, none of which are in the photo. Is the photo in Brampton, Cambridgeshire parish and would hence be better in that article? --FDent (talk) 17:19, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

Tagged
Hello. I tagged it for currency: it has been updated a bit for the road rebuild but actually quite a lot of it is now wrong and it needs a good birthday. I also tagged it for the "how-to" bits about how to use the junction. It is a nice thought but I worry that it is a bit out of scope for an encyclopaedia. (Ermmm - and is that guidance still current anyway???) Best to all DBaK (talk) 14:07, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
