Hawthorne Road Harborne

A Nicklin photo I have not seen before. A fine set of Georgian cottages, 1-5 Hawthorne Road. Just off the photo to the left was The Lodge, which had been the lodge to Oak Hill House. Now all gone, the cottages replaced by a car park for a rather dull-looking mini shopping centre.

Cannot find Hawthorne Road Edgbaston listed in any of the directories I have looked at (not all obviously). So difficult to find on cnesus. However in 1954 it was a Mr & Mrs Peters at no 4; Eric Jones at no 2 in 1954 and bus conductor Paul nugent at no 2 in 1950.
