Title: The building of the Kidderminster ring road.
Post by: Treefan on Saturday 21 March 09 10:05 GMT (UK)
Can anyone tell me exactly when in the 1960's the demolition of the buildings took place in the Horsefair area to make way for the building of the then new Kidderminster ring road please?

Thank you.
Treefan.

I think demolition started about late 1965 or early 1966.

Hi Treefan you asked about the fish and chip shop run by my grandparents Beatrice & Percy Cooper. I believe it was knocked down around 1964-5 as i can just about recall going there with my parents. I do have some photos and press cuttings. Please contact me for further information.
