Under normal circumstances, Tolladine is one of the main arteries leading from the M-5 Motorway into the city centre. We walk it for easy access into town from our house, and without fail, it is always very busy. There is no place worst than under the rail yard however, where the walk is along a narrow footpath right next to the narrow and busy road. As you will see in the pictures below, the road feels smaller here due to the high walls on either side of it, and the bridges for the rail yard above.
So when construction at a crossroads on the west end of the section with the high walls caused the entire section to be shut down, it was an opportunity to go and play around in a stretch of road that we would never normally dare to try to run across. I even had the boys lay in the road just so they could say they have, and so they could do something very uncomfortable!
