On another thread the first image below of the police house in Perry Village was posted but was never located. Perry Village was the area around St John's Church in Church Road (once known as Church Lane).
Can we make any sense of the Perry Village images below (near St John's Church) to locate the early police station ? For a long time I've found this baffling as its never made sense to have a police station/house based at the village, when the larger Perry Barr Village itself is nearby (ie near the Crown & Cushion pubs). Wonder what was the reason for this ?
The Cornishes extract below was posted by Postie on another thread. It shows clearly a listing for Perry Village police station and Canterbury Road police station existing at the same time. Viv.
