Description:A47, Birmingham city-centre

I spotted this rather rusty pre-warboys sign in Birmingham city-centre, on New Canal St. It directs motorists looking for the A47 down Curzon St. The A47 was re-routed, away from Curzon St, in the '60s along an elevated dual carriageway (Jennens Road). So by my reckoning, that makes this sign about 40 years out-of-date! This area is due for re-development soon, the roads are to be removed altogether to make way for a park and new library. So I don't hold any hope for this sign hanging around much longer.
