This mosaic is in memory of the homes and businesses knocked down for an ill-fated 1960s road scheme. In the 1960s town planners enthusiastically embraced the explosion in car ownership that took place after the war. Bristol Council drew up plans for an inner and outer circuit road with a series of radial routes to meet the anticipated demand. There was cross-party agreement from the Labour and Conservative groups that the roads should be built. Large swathes of tight-knit communities in Totterdown and Easton were bulldozed and residents were forcibly rehomed as construction work began. Some sections like the M32 and the Easton Way were completed but by 1973 an economic depression put a stop to the road schemes.
In Totterdown 600 homes, 100 shops, 11 pubs and five chapels had been demolished, leaving a barren wasteland for the next few decades until new houses were built.
