This is the extraordinary saga of the eight year campaign to
prevent the destruction of Twyford Down, then the undistributed
landscape backcloth to the ancient City of Winchester. The story is
told by Barbara Bryant who was at the forefront of the campaign
from its modest beginnings in 1985 to its infamous culmination
seven years later. Twyford Down is a compelling record of every
step of the campaign. It examines the UK government's role in the
destruction of the Down, firstly by proposing to complete the
'missing' link in the M3 via the cutting in Twyford Down and
subsequently by its intransigence in rejecting alternative
solutions. It also looks at the part the campaign has subsequently
played in the evolution of environmental campaigning. European
legislation, which failed to protect this precious piece of English
countryside, is examined, as is the political background to the
campaign. The campaign for Twyford Down was lost with the
construction of the final section of the M3 motorway through
Twyford Down. The campaign, and the issues it raised, are not
likely to be forgotten - the gaping wound in the landscape will
remain as a monument to the great car economy of the second half of
the 20th century.
