Description

A view of the road to Jerusalem, showing the remarkable 'hair pin' bends in the road. The country at this point is a series of small gullies, and the winding formation was adopted to save bridge work. Road workers can be seen in the distance. This is an original Paget Plate negative. The same image is available in colour and is held at P03631.123.
