One end of the recently opened Northfield by-pass. This section of the A38 has been named "Sir Herbert Austin Way" after the founder of the Austin Motor Works. Sir Herbert ( or more properly Lord Austin) lies buried just a couple of miles from his factory in Lickey churchyard, Rose Hill. He must be spinning in his grave with what has happened to his factory. Most of it is now just a demolition site awaiting promised development. Part of the Black Horse pub can be seen on the left of the picture.
