A road roller (sometimes called a roller-compactor, or just roller) is a compactor-type engineering vehicle used to compact soil, gravel, concrete, or asphalt in the construction of roads and foundations. Similar rollers are used also at landfills or in agriculture.
Road rollers are frequently referred to as steamrollers, regardless of their method of propulsion.
Wallis & Steevens of Basingstoke, Hampshire, England produced agricultural equipment, traction engines and steam and diesel road rollers.
This roller was outside the 'Departure Lounge' which is a café situated on the outskirts of Alton in Hampshire on the Basingstoke road, set in the beautiful countryside. The café is also a Wedding venue and has been awarded the TripAdvisor Certificate of excellence.
This location is near the southern end of the A339, which is a 51-kilometre-long A road. It is the main road between Newbury in Berkshire and Alton in Hampshire. It also forms the eastern and northern parts of the Basingstoke Ring Road. Its most northern end eventually merges into the A34 north of Newbury just before meeting the M4 at J13 (Chieveley services). The section between the A34 and Newbury town centre was previously part of the A34. Most of the road has a 50 mph speed limit because it has many bends.
