The Cat has been stolen !
It has gone.
The Great Barford Bypass is now open and the new Black Cat Roundabout is in operation.
The black cat on the Black Cat Roundabout on the A1 near St. Neots until June 2007.
This larger black cat was erected by the Great Barford Bypass contractor (Nuttalls) with the agreement of the Highways Agency.
The former black cat on the old Black Cat Roundabout.
This cat was installed in January 2004.
The shape is the same as the cat from which the roundabout originally got its name.
