Many older Ketley folk will remember the railway crossing across the main road. Well, here it is, 40 years ago, disappearing forever.
The original caption to this picture from our files dating from March 1969 read: “Work on removing the old Ketley railway crossing should be finished tomorrow evening.
“From early today, traffic has been diverted away from the crossing through Haybridge and Hadley. Police said the diversion is operating reasonably smoothly. There have been a few minor hold-ups but they have been quickly cleared.
“The diversion adds about a mile to the journey between the Buck’s Head, Wellington, and the Seven Stars, Ketley.”
