'Once The Site of a Real Roller Coaster'

 

Birmingham Jewellery Quarter Findings Trail, designed by Laura Potter.

 

Slippery Road Sign:

Along Newhall Street outside the NCP car park, between Charlotte Street and Lionel Street.

For a time in the early nineteenth century a roller coaster known as the Russian Mountains,  stood on Graham Street and made use of the steep slope of Newhall Hill. Riders apparently sat in little two-seater cars which raced down inclines, sped around curves, and climbed a slope with the aid of a winch.
