Where is This? 165

Phil

Phil

Gone, but not forgotten.
The weekend is upon us, a time for frippery & foolishness so with that in mind I shall continue with my next offering in this eatery section of "Where is This"

As this one has to be well known I don't expect it to last long.

afternoon phil..i hate it when you say its well known..you know i dont know anywhere...lol....

ok...broad street...

lyn
 
Iv,e been waiting Phil looking at the photo looks like the town center can,t say i recall the place so I,me saying maybe Dudley St
 
dave..i am prob wrong with broad st...the pavement dont look right now....thinking maybe the jewellery quarter area...

lyn
 
Of course you are all close, thats obvious isn't it. But not close enough.

Phil
 
phil..if some of us are close can you give us a clue and tell us who is the closest ...pleeeeese...

lyn
 
Lyn just for you,

I can tell you that most of this road was replaced by a hole in the ground.

Phil
 
oh great phil....well if your talking a recent big hole the only one i can think of is where they are now building the cube building....by the mailbox....just off waterloo st i think...

lyn
 
Phil the biggest hole we,ve got at the moment is quite close to where Easy Row was or am i Trying to be to clever. Dek
 
There was a road that disappeared when they rebuilt New St Station it was between the station and Dudley St i wonder? dont have a map.Dek
 
I have to tell that like many of such holes in the ground it has now been filled in and no longer exists. When we have put a name to this location, if anyone can tell me what the idea was behind it in the first place was I would be interested to learn.

Phil
 
im confused now phil..lol....so we have a road/street that was demolished to make way for a big hole and then the hole was filled in and not used for the foundations to buld anything....totally lost now..will go and have a cuppa and a re think...
 
Jean i do,nt remember that tell me more if you can,I was thinking more along the lines of a useless statue like the Iron man they would have had to dig a hole and fill it with concrete i,m just treading water at the moment i need another clue. Dek
 
Dek I answered this on a thread ages back and it was when they had to close the road off and my answer was just a guess. I don't know if it made a hole or just became unsafe. I think Motorman Mike posted it?. Jean.
