This takes me right back to my childhood - walking under the underpass where there was 'landscaping' (basically lots of rocks and stones)! x

[@frenchie23666]

i remember a little shop under there. i wonder what happened too it.

[@mbrooks1976]

Wicked!! How clean the toilets are. Kids would soon mess those upthese days

[@oliverpearson1577]

Imagine how those toilets would be used now. The mind boggles.

Which is the subway with the toilets, ive never seen them? The Subway by the Mercedes garage has a door which i believe used to be a shop?

Good technical skills,Labour power long live...

[@christopherhulse2041]

I remember the toilets, bet they are still there albeit covered in.

[@ledzeproberts2111]

Aye

Imagine if they had the forethought to build the ring road underground and not force pedestrians underground like rats. Because the Strourbridge ring road consists of slip roads this facilitates building in tunnels. We wouldn’t have the problems of the concrete collar if this had been done.

I believe the ring road was what ruined Stourbridge. Such a lovely town before it was built and so many shops and streets were sacrificed for it.

HSE would have a heart attack if they saw this today.

[@GearGrinder1133]
