Century Road: Tempus Fugit Damn Quick!

on BBC Two England

Concluding the series that visits roads built in the early 1900s.

Century Road in the industrial west Midlands town of Oldbury has witnessed a transformation over the last 100 years. Fifty years ago bus crews staged a strike when an Indian conductor was employed, while nearby Smethwick was the scene of Enoch Powell's notorious "rivers of blood" speech. Now the road is peacefully shared by people from a wide range of ethnic groups.
