Description:In this aerial view of Five Ways, Edgbaston, the new Five Ways traffic system is at an advanced stage of construction. The island itself is in use, although the single vehicle heading for the underpass suggests that the through road was still closed - or was traffic just lighter in 1970? In the top right corner is the Children's Hospital in what was soon to become Ladywood Middleway, with the Lench's Trust Almshouses in front. The view is probably from the top of Auchinleck House.
