Walking Home in The Dark
Before we were married my then fiance used to live on the Birmingham road and this scene was on my route home often around midnight. Then it was in the process of change from the road works that resulted in the ring road. The scene resembled terrific desolation and required careful negotiation of the canal bank being unlit and very slippery.
In 2006 we rented a canal cruiser and wanted to stay here for a couple of days right where that barge is in the photo. The rental company warned us away because it was unsafe due to the risk from local vandals. Poor old Kiddy and poor old England have not fared well over the last 40+ years.

RE: RE: Walking Home in The Dark
Ah David, how I share your views about poor old Kiddy. What a ghost of a town it is now. I moved away over 30 years ago and on my infrequent visits home I just don't know the place. Saturday night dances at the baths or Brinton's canteen or the Black Horse Pub. The Central & Futurist cinemas. Always spoilt for choice on a Saturday night. More pubs than I can name. Happy days.
