More On The Accident Rumor

Beginning with my January 7, 2012 post and continuing with posts on 1/22 and 1/29, I have been looking into the rumor that Paul was involved in an accident off the M1 highway near Milton Keynes.  From my research, it's looking more and more like there is validity to the rumor.

1.)  There is a 286 mile canal that runs from London to Birmingham called the Grand Union Canal.  It runs through the area where Paul would have had the accident and one of the features of the canal are many bridges over it.  Pennyland is in the area of the village of Great Linford and the village has several bridges running over the canal.
On the right is a photo of bridge #77.  Remember the lyric from Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds:  "Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain"?  I'll look more into the area and the features surrounding the canal in that area, but according to a book I read, The Plan For Milton Keynes (Milton Keynes Development Corporation, 1970), the area was parkland.
2.)  The area around Milton Keynes was known for its brick clay mining and brick manufacturing.  There was a brick manufacturing plant southwest of the town of Bletchley, which is in the area.  Here is a photo of old brick kilns from the area. (Bottom right.)
And here is a photo of the famous back of the
album of Abbey Road, with the brick wall that
spelled out 3 Beatles. 

There could very well be a connection.
