The Camp Hill Flyover in Birmingham was constructed in the mid 1960s to allow improved traffic flow at the juction of the A41 and A45 at Digbeth. The rather crude looking steel structure took the southbound carriageway of the A41 from High Street Bordesley, up and over the A41/A45 Coventry Road junction and back down onto Camp Hill (a continuation of High Street Bordesley). Originally intended as a temporary traffic solution, the flyover lasted some 26 years, before being demolished in the 1980s.
bethdig – A tumblr site created by Pete Ashton, here he ‘tracks the Digbeth tag on Flickr for the good stuff so you don’t have to’. So basically a site of lovely pics of Digbeth.
Custard Factory Shoot – a set on Flickr – Funny thing happened on Saturday afternoon. I was having my picture taken in front of the Devonshire Works door to The Custard Factory on Floodgate Street (the old staff entrance in its custard-making days) and could hear voices on the other side…so I opened the door and startled a lovely lady model straddled over a chair, who was having her photo taken too. Seems like it was photographer Rob Owen’s shoot that I interrupted, and by the looks of this Flickr set it went great regardless.
Flickr: Ninja Women of Digbeth, photographed by theaardvark – Who are these tiny, warrior Ninja women? Where did they come from? Why are they fighting on the Digbeth streets? Is there some strange sticker-women war going on before our very eyes?
Flickr: Garry Corbett’s photostream – Garry likes his jazz. And he loves taking black and white photos of it being played at The Rainbow. There’s some lovely shots in here.
