    Exclamation Stourbridge Ring Road

    Got thinking about this the other day, never knew exactly when it was built and then I remembered the dedication plaque in the subway down lower high street. There's a bit of scaffolding where they're maintaining the sides and a bit of a shock.


    Someone's had the dedication plaque the scoundrels


    Then I found this on youtube


    YouTube- Official opening of Stourbridge Ring Road, 1969

    YouTube- Driving round Stourbridge Ring Road when it first opened

    Quite a shock at the year it was finished

    God I hate that road! Spooky that we were talking about this at work today tho..... and we were all in agreement! but I most strongly disagree with his comment about it bringing order out of chaos...... quite the opposite if you ask me! Shame some nob head has had the plaque away!
    I dont need anger management ... you just need to stop pissin me off !!

    I think they should close it and turn it into a race track for the use of bikes and go-karts only
