Yes it is Kev. A valve cover from an early spoked car wheel. They were made of aluminium and I used to collect them from behind the Clifton Garage on Heaton Moor Road and use them to make stink bombs using old nitrate film.
Next one?

It looks like it’s the end of the road.
A defunct car park?

End of an unfinished bit of road? First section of the M6, Preston bypass or maybe the M65 when it stopped at Blackburn.

Or an abandoned bit of road that's been replaced by a bypass.

Kev is right, abandoned when the new road was put in. But.... It's a rather special bit of road and I want to know why.

I'll go with China on that based on the black arrow on the yellow background, looks like a US road sign to me.

China is right, it's some of the original 1926 pavement in a small section of the old Route 66 where it was cut by the new interstate.
Next one?

Route 66 from Chicago to LA, more than 2000 miles on the way ... Nat King Cole 1958
I've driven part of it in the south. I know you have, and that is why I suggested it, though we may have had it before.

No I don't think so China, I went to the archive and found a pic that couldn't be on the web and so wouldn't show up on an image search..... I shall have to look for another now....
