Rock Road at Ketley, pictured on February 28, 1974,

There was a lot going on in Rock Road, Ketley, on February 28, 1974. But what was it all about? It was actually part of the construction work for the new M54 motorway ­ or ‘Wellington bypass’ as it was often called then, as it was only a relatively short stretch which was not connected to the rest of the motorway network. It was not until 1983 that the M54 was linked up to the M6.
