HS2 Birmingham's Coleshill going towards curdworth area extend version

The HS2 railway then moves into a tunnel emerging east of the A452, before heading south at Castle Vale towards London.  Within Birmingham, we will be building one tunnel at Bromford, two viaducts at Saltley and the River Tame, and a major depot at Washwood Heath. Three more viaducts through Digbeth and the new HS2 Curzon Street Station will also be constructed. #hs2

Great work! Many thanks for the time and effort to create this.

Thanks.

32 miles of tunnels and vanity bridges through the home counties are the reason why this project is so over budget. HS2 is only HALF a job. The 20 million in the North have been ignored again. Levelling up in the this country is a JOKE.

Coleshill - listed in the Doomsday Book of 1086. It has managed to survive for 938 years.....

[@peterwilliamallen1063]

So is Birmingham mentioned in the Doomsday Book like many ld towns and Villiages

Coleshill is old but Curdworth is the oldest recorded settlement in the West Midlands 😉

[@peterwilliamallen1063]

@@leftmono1016 Both Coleshill and Curdworth are not technicaly in the West Midlands, they are in Warwickshire. The term West Midlands is a new term for an area set up in 1971 which was the West Midlands Metropolitan area which Borders up to Warwickshire Staffordshire and Worcestershire the whole area being called the Midlands. I live in Birminghm West Midlands and at Water Orton you leave the West Midlands and enter the County of Warwickshire where both Coleshill and Curdworth are and also Birmingham also known as Bermingham or Beomingaham goes right back to before Anglo Saxon times and was mentioned in the Doomsday Book as being worth £1.00
