Reader Comments for Old Commercial Road
The original plan was to demolish all the houses, businesses in the road for the M275 to run its course, this was objected to by the Charles Dickens Society and gathered more support for the birthplace of Dickens to be saved.
The plans were reworked and was agreed to reroute the Motorway and the rear of the west side of Commercial road was the final plan for the M275.
The name change took place and the road is a mix of Grade 2 listed buildings and is an area of Special Interest and Conservation.
