More about this scene
The regeneration of the south side of Dudley town centre began in 1962. First to be completed was a pedestrian way linking Castle Street with the bus station. This was called Birdcage Walk, and once included an aviary housing tropical birds. It also features a sculptured frieze by the artist Bainbridge Copnall, which was made from fibreglass and powdered aluminium. It measures 25ft by 7ft and depicts, at each end, chain making and coal mining, with a mother and child in the centre representing education.
