Birmingham 1996 – a 35mm film retrospective

I found myself stuck in heavy traffic the M6 on the Gravelly Hill Interchange – AKA Spaghetti Junction. Radio said I could be stuck up there for hours. So I exited the M6 motorway at junction 6 and turned onto the A38(M), what they laughingly call the “Aston Expressway”. That was bumper-to-bumper too. So I turned off that and ended up actually underneath the Gravelly Hill Interchange. Where I found all sorts of wonderful and unexpected things.

I spent the entire afternoon in the park. And as luck would have it, by the time I had finished exploring and photographing, the log-jam on the M6 had cleared. Which meant I could enjoy a pleasant jam-free journey home to Southampton.


This has been posted retrospectively. This images were originally taken and scanned from 35mm film to appear in articles I was writing at the time. A few appeared in the New Millennium ezine. But most were uploaded into the old Coppermine media library and forgotten, So I dug them out of the archives, cleaned them up a bit and reposted them all here.
