Progress is rapid in this development, seen from near Chapel Street. House foundations are shown. In the distance is a new red-brick Asian supermarket, already open. The metal framework to its right will become another. Old buildings in Dudley Road are in the distance. The area has long been the best local source of "ethnic" fresh vegetables and spices. Update - April 2014: the whole project has been completed - looks very smart, including two excellent Asian supermarkets, and some smaller shops.
