looks like the start of Bordesley flyoverI don't know if this has appeared in a book, online or on this forum but, just for a bit of fun, can anybody describe what is happening in this photograph ....

Well that quiz didn't last long .... I thought the grass would have thrown people! Well done mw0njm.
Close to the factory, I would guess, but I don't know where that was either.Where was the test erection done.
Its a test erection of the Bordesley flyover, before it was brought to and assembled on the actual site. Such an embarrasment if it didn't fit together properly (anyone remember the 'Bridge not far enough' on Broad Street, which didn't fit when lifted into place?)
It says it will have a 23 year life, I remember driving over it, but have not been that way (as far as I know, because everything has changed), how long did it last?
