Hi David
I'm inviting you to a 1 hour walk from the squat clock tower between the Merry Hill massive car park and the 400 metre Dudley No 1 Canal embankment buried by the tramway viaduct. PHOTO that features the clock tower:
VISIT:
- Dudley's premier, No 1 Canal, with magnificent views from Netherton Hill to the Clent Hills and Wychbury Hill - spoiled by the tram viaduct.
- View the possible site of Great Crested newts and therefore, perhaps, SSSI - planners want to build on this undoubted nature paradise, untouched by human hand or foot for decades. A very important wetland habitat, even if there are no newts.
- Inspect my vertical guerrilla garden that hides the rusty metal sheet piling holding up High Plateau - complete obliteration by the viaduct that thunders over the top.
- Walk over part of the massive 23,000 sq metres of housing land, called highly forgotten High Plateau. The tramway cuts through a corner, as in this plan:
- Mark the contrast between my efforts to hide the corroded looking iron wall and the site owners round the corner.
- Visit the Waterfront Marina and then on to view, from the road bridge, the mighty wasted and forgotten 120 Kms Black Country Railway and Round Oak Steel railway freight terminal in the near distance. This section is freight only from Port Talbot.
- View part of the route of the 25 Kms Black Country Cycle-Walk Mudway that goes through Merry Hill from Saltwells NNR on its way to NW Wolverhampton.
- View one station and the route of the 1990s magnificent monorail, built privately but, possibly snookered/sabotaged by wicked Centro!
