Hi Springtime63,

As this looks to be your first post to the forum may I bid you welcome, I'm sorry but this old postcard seems to be the best one of the location you require that I can come up with, perhaps someone may have a better copy of it. The problem seems to be, for reasons known only to the planning department they demolished this corner in the late 60's and replaced it with a row of shops with flats above. I take it that it is this older version that you are looking for, because the later buildings are still there today.

 

[springtime63]

thank you for the welcome.
its a lovely picture
i know of the shops and flats, but i would love to see a picture of the victorian houses that would of been the property i was born
perhaps someone will come up with one from the 50s

Anne, are they not the houses that you were born in then?

 

[springtime63]

yes,im sure the one on the corner is the one, its just that i have never seen photos of it,
thank you

 

[Phil]

Well Anne I'm reasonably sure that they were the buildings that were there until the corner was demolished, but I can tell you with a little more certainty that the surgery remained there until at least 1961/62.

That location is just up the road from my old school, Moseley School of Art.
