Spag HengeWinter 2024

Living in a big, modern city can be frustrating if you’re a medievalist - especially a city like Birmingham which has very few premodern features. It was a very small market settlement right up until the Industrial Revolution.

This linocut imagines an imposing local feature, the Spaghetti Junction flyover at Salford Circus, as a significant archaeological site.

The support arches for the motorway actually formed an ancient henge network, you see, until the M6 came through in the 70s and linked them all up.
