The dying days of south Mayes Road
A few years back I wrote a piece about the origins of Mayes Road. Searching for something else this morning, I came across the seventies BBC news report on the problems surrounding the development of Shopping City and realised that this added to the Mayes Road story.
I must have watched the report many times in the past, but perhaps never paid attention closely enough. Watching it again the other day, I realised that it had two sections that had been shot along the now demolished section of Mayes Road which ran directly into the High Road.

The dying days of south Mayes Road
I must have watched it many times in the past, but perhaps never paid attention closely enough.
This time, I realised that it had two sections that were shot along the now demolished section of Mayes Road.
I screenshot the clips and have crudely pasted together the results which are added below. (The first is less successful than the second as it was shot from inside a car, at an angle with the windscreen pillar in the middle of each image. I m sure time and patience could provide a much superior result, but this gives a good impression of what that stretch was like).
