St Vincent Street Bridge

[ellbrown]

There is steps going down near the St Vincent Street Bridge in Ladywood. Also an open path from Summer Hill Street.

The steps are open.



Close up look at the steps.



There is a primary school close to this site. Nelson Primary School. The steps leads to a path that goes towards St Mark's Crescent. A few playing fields nearby.

Interesting Elliot. Your post 11 in the thread below also shows steps from another, nearby? bridge, I wonder if they lead to the same path?

Monument Lane Station/Shed

Anyone know why Mounment Lane Station/Shed was so called? The maps etc i've looked at around the time, 1854, seem to show a Monument Road, part of which remains today, but no Monument Lane

Probably Alan. But it's all fence off now of course. Although at Ladywood Middleway you have access to the Birmingham Canal Navigations Mainline.

At St Vincent Street just to a muddy path. Even the road leading down from Summer Hill Street had a big puddle in the middle.

This is the section of the railway from St Vincent Street towards Ladywood Middleway.

I fondly recall descending these steps every morning on my way to Nelson Primary School and then climbing them to come home to Botany Walk each afternoon... Between 1972 and 1980 : )
