Jays Close
This 1976 view of Jays Close in the Hampshire town of Basingstoke shows the road before the building of Viables Business Park was started. Viables Business Park, is now a large business park extending to 38 hectares (97 acres) approximately 3km (2 miles) to the south west of Basingstoke town centre.
The viables is one of the main commercial areas in the town with occupiers including De la Rue, Sony, TaylorMade-Adidas and Motorola.
Jays Close measures approximately 2,012 metres long. Jays Close is within the area of Basingstoke and Deane District Council who provide services such as refuse collection and are responsible for the collection of council tax. The average elevation of Jays Close is roughly 106.32 metres above sea level. with the highest point being 113.90 and the lowest point being 100.90. A change of 13.00 metres.
The moped here is a The Honda PF50 Novio which is one version of the P range which include the earlier PC and the sporty 3-speed PS, plus the Amigo and Graduate; all basically the same with alterations for different markets. These were proper mopeds, minus kick start or gears and complete with pedals running 6 volts with magneto (no battery). Initially all four strokes, except for the Amigo 2, the oil burning version which came later and in smaller numbers. The Novio varied from the others with its fuel tank moved from the rear position above the rear mudguard to the more conventional place attached to the frame. This bike was assembled in Belgium for the home market or exported across Europe including the UK. In the UK there was a choice of Red, blue or yellow, but it seems many orange versions also found their way across the Channel. Packing 1.8hp Honda’s 49cc unit is reliable and long lasting, similar to the C50 or ST70 type motors. A ‘Peddle & Pop’ that can reach 30mph on the flat, they don’t like hills.
