Who owns the clock garage birmingham

However, a number of present day garages were purpose-built at significant road junctions on Birmingham's arterial roads, notably where they crossed the Outer Circle bus route.

This junction, some distance from the Outer Circle, is still known as The Clock after the prominent clock on the garage building. Although the service station remains open, the car sales at the Clock Garage closed in and the buildings were demolished two years later. The author has received an email from Robert Darlaston, formerly of Stechford Road, Hodge Hill, describing the original road junction at the Clock:.

I would guess that the Clock Garage was built about I can't remember what was there before - probably unused open land behind hedges. The garage may well have been planned when Newport Road was built, but so many things went on 'hold' during the war and had to wait until restrictions were eased afterwards. Do you remember the 'Clock' junction before the roundabout was built?

It was a strange layout by today's standards: a huge triangular island with bi-directional roads on each side. Thus, when travelling from Newport Road towards Hodge Hill Common traffic had first to turn right across traffic coming down from Castle Bromwich towards Erdington, before getting onto the 'bottom' side of the triangle, and then queue to cross traffic from B'ham to Castle Bromwich before getting into Coleshill Road!
