King's Norton Railway Station Footbridge

My mom mentioned one of the ladies at her work had seen some art on the footbridge over the railway tracks. I went to have a look. Amazing!

Pretty neat, huh? A brief history of King's Norton and the Cotteridge area in a highly eye-catching form. A few people walked across the bridge whilst I was taking these photos, and they just didn't seem to notice it - such a shame. I think it's brilliant!


More photos are up on Flickr. All pics taken by me, on July 17th. Click for bigger.

I highly suggest you all go and take a look! The bridge can be accessed from Station Road, either by The Camp pub on Camp Lane or from Middleton Hall Road, or from the railway station itself - the bridge is at the far end of the tracks, away from the ticket office. Cotteridge is easily accesible by buses - the 11A/C, 47, 45, 18 and the 49 all stop here. There are steps on either side of this bridge and no lift/ramp access.

A small write up can be read here.

  1. Is it new? I didn't see it when I was there a few months back. Looks worth a visit.

  2. Yep, must be - I hadn't seen, or heard of, this before two days ago! It is really good, much better than the pictures show.

  4. The specific skills and knowledge needed to recover lost Bitcoin are only possessed by a select few seasoned hackers. Even if there are many recovery websites, it is important to be cautious because 99 percent of them are operated by scammers who pose as trustworthy. Instead, seek out a reliable hacker who can help you recover your possessions, like RecoveryHacker101. I lost $126k in bitcoin mining, but they were able to get it back. Email Roberts at recoveryhacker101[at]gmail[dot]com to get in touch.
