November 17, 1954

REDDITCH, Alcester and surrounding districts were among the places which were affected by the dense fogs which have enveloped the countryside this week.

Although the fog in the Redditch district was encountered in patches on Wednesday, travelling was still a problem for motorists.

All districts were affected by fog on Monday but it cleared to a large extent by the evening.

It was also foggy in patches on Tuesday.

Two lorries collided in the fog in Birmingham Road, Bordesley, on Monday afternoon.

One of the lorries was slightly damaged. The other lorry, believed to be a British Road Service vehicle, did not stop.
