The site is currently occupied by part of the Millennium Point surface level car park. Until recently, the vehicular entrance to the site (Millennium Point car park) was off Jennens Road/ Howe Street with exits onto Curzon Street and Cardigan Street. The Howe Street entrance has now been closed to accommodate the construction of a new multi-storey car park with two way access to the remaining Millennium Point car park off Curzon Street. The site is bounded by the Millennium Point car park to the west, land identified for redevelopment to the north and south, and Cardigan Street to the east, as shown on Figure 2. The land immediately to the northwest of the site will be used for a multi-storey car park with access off Cardigan Street. The multi-storey car park is currently being constructed. The land to the south forms part of the proposed City Park site. Cardigan Street is a two lane single carriageway with on street parking available along the west kerbline. It connects with Jennens Road to the north via a left in/left out arrangement and to the south intersects with Curzon Street via a priority T junction. Cardigan Street provides access to the eastern area of Eastside via Belmont Row and Gopsal Street. Curzon Street is a two lane single carriageway with on street parking available on the south side. To the east, Curzon Street links with Lawley Middleway (A4540) and Vauxhall Road (B4132) via a 4-arm roundabout, which is known as Curzon Circle. Lawley Middleway is part of the middle ring road and is a dual two lane carriageway. To the west, Curzon Street intersects with New Canal Street at a signal controlled T junction, and continuing west becomes Albert Street which links with the Masshouse Gyratory. New Canal Street provides a connection to Digbeth to the south. The Masshouse Gyratory is partially signalised and forms the intersection between Moor Street Queensway (the bus mall), The Priory Queensway, James Watt Queensway, Jennens Road, Bartholomew Street and Park Street. James Watt Queensway provides access to the A38 Aston Expressway and the inner ring road. Park Street has two lanes and operates as one way southbound forming part of a one way system with Moor Street Queensway (the bus mall) and the Masshouse gyratory to the north. Jennens Road is generally a dual two lane carriageway widening to three lanes in places. It has an eastbound and westbound bus lane and links with Lawley Middleway via a 4-arm roundabout known as Ashted Circus. Continuing north, Lawley Middleway leads to the north of Birmingham, and via the Aston Expressway (A38) the M6. To the south, Lawley Middleway leads to the south of Birmingham and Solihull.

The Big City Plan reflects the aspiration of the city council but does not have formal planning status. The masterplan is split into seven sections of which one is Eastside. The masterplan for Eastside incorporates the High Speed 2 rail line which would run parallel to the existing viaduct, and the new terminus station. 3.1 Highways The masterplan identifies Moor Street Queensway, Jennens Road and Digbeth High Street as the key vehicular routes on the east side of the city. Within the Eastside regeneration area, the main roads are Curzon Street and New Canal Street, with potential new links from New Canal Street to Masshouse and Park Street. The plan indicates that the Albert Street link to the Masshouse Gyratory (from the junction with New Canal Street and Curzon Street) would be closed to facilitate the western end of the City Park. As part of the regeneration of the Eastside area, BCC are proposing to improve the Cardigan Street road corridor. These highway works comprise the following: • Upgrade of the existing left in/ left out junction between Jennens Road and Cardigan Street to form an all movement signal controlled crossroads between Jennens Road, Cardigan Street and Woodcock Street.

  • Lance-Corporal Sydney Vernon Pickering
    Lance-Corporal Sydney Vernon Pickering The British Fifth Army attacks on the Somme front stopped over the winter of 1916. They were reduced to surviving the rain, snow, fog, mud fields, waterlogged trenches and shell- holes. As preparations for the spring offensive at Arras began, the 1/4th Battalion of the 12th Battalion Middlesex Regiment prepared to capture the village of Bihucourt in early March 1917. The attacks commenced in January in the Ancre Valley against exhausted German troops holding poor defensive positions left from the fighting in 1916. The Pickering family can trace their origins back to James Pickering and his wife Jane, both born, c1801, in Staffordshire. In the 1841 census James, a ‘tallow chandler’ is living with his family of five sons and a daughter in Upper Green, Newcastle under Lyme. James’ eldest son John was born on 20th November 1820 at Etruriai and baptised at St Giles Church, Newcastle under Lyme on 3rd December 1820.ii John, like his father, became a tallow chandler.iii On 30th August 1846, John married Frances Williams, daughter of Edward Williams a basket maker at Bishop Ryder’s Church, Gem Street, Gosta Green, Birmingham (now demolished to make way for building Aston University). John’s address given on the marriage certificate was 1, Nelson Street South. By 1851, John and Frances and their five children (Mary, their first child is not recorded in the 1851 census but reappears in the 1861 census) are living at 24a, Fordrough Street, Birmingham. John is now Figure 1: Bishop Ryder’s Church, a ‘master chandler, employer and Gosta Green, Birmingham manufacturer’.

  • Bells in and Around Birmingham: a Survey and History
    BELLS IN AND AROUND BIRMINGHAM: A SURVEY AND HISTORY (PART 1: PREFACE, EXPLANATORY NOTES, INTRODUCTION, LOCATIONS A-E) Chris Pickford Version date: 29/09/2020 Preface Not long after I took up ringing in 1966 I began collecting information on the bells in Worcestershire (where I was at boarding school) and Warwickshire (where my parents lived). I date my first ‘serious’ visits to April 1968 since when I have been working intermittently on comprehensive surveys of bells in the two counties. The prospect of tackling a large urban area like Birmingham was always a rather daunting one and for a long time I skirted round it. However, when I took on the role of Bells Adviser to the Birmingham Diocesan Advisory Committee in 1987 I decided to pick up the challenge and during the course of the next couple of years managed to visit nearly every belfry in the area. The work originally led to the creation of a Diocesan Inventory (rather in the format of the present National Bells Register) and the updating of the Council for the Care of Churches’ preservation list for the Diocese. I stepped down as Bells Adviser in 1998 but in 2003-4 - following a return to the Midlands - I did some further survey work and wrote up the entire work in its present form. Since then I have tried to keep it up to date as best I can. I never intended this to be a book - and long ago gave up talking of books to replace Walters’s books on the Church Bells of Warwickshire (1910) Church Bells of Worcestershire (1925-31) - as this sort of study is too specialised (and too detailed in this form) for traditional publication.
