For more than a year it has been quite a trial to travel down High Street from Birmingham city centre to Deritend due to a massive construction project along the way. However my old school friend had never been, so we went on a mission and had a great time. On the way back, we met Andrew and he explained what was going on - basically new road and pavement on one side, and an extension to the city’s tram network to the other. This could take another three years to complete. We had a good chat and a bit of a laugh with Andrew, who had managed to bag himself the best job for the day (directing pesky pedestrians around the roadwords).
He was more than happy to have his photo taken and for it to be posted.
