I'll take your word for it Mortal.
That road to the right as we look is still there now. It headed towards a hairpin which switched back and rejoined the track further up the hill. Think of the track now with such an iconic corner switched for an ordinary sweeper leading to fairly ordinary hairpin! Tilke would be impressed.
It's pictures like these that separate the track from others. Only Monza can replicate the feel in my eyes. Somehow, for me, Silverstone never did have the same historical magic, perhaps because only one corner has remained similar to the original (Chapel). That said, the only corner here which has remained unchanged has been Blanchimont, and I suppose Raidillon.
