If we backtrack now as far as Five Ways Island we can head down Islington Row (is it still called that)?
Yes it is (I go past it on my daily commute!).
I remember that cinema when the MacDonalds is now, shame they knocked it down. Most of the land next to the MacDonalds is still waste land!
As for Selly Oak, it really, really annoys me how badly vandalised that bridge gets (and I'm not calling it graffiti as, in my opinion, just scrawling your name on something is in no way an art form
). Every so often, they get it cleaned up and within days the spray paint starts to appear...
