WELCOME to the forum TQ and thanks for the photos. I tried it once. at Caernarfon airport absolutely amazing feeling
Many thanks for sharing your pictures.
What type of scanner did you use?
Really enjoying these pictures. This one I suggest is the junction of The Radleys with Bell Lane. Tile Cross/Sheldon/Marston Green border.
Bath Row/Holloway Head left side to top right corner across end of pitch and Sutton Street alongside pitch - and my place of birth in 1949 - about where the centre circle intersects with the centre line on the Sutton Street side. Thanks for the photo!35541-5
Anyone place this pitch/track? Quite a few clues ad a major road to help?

Looks like Holloway Head Lee Bank opposite the Peace Gardens on the middle left of the photo.35541-5

hello TQ and welcome to the forum...your photos are amazing....hopefully some members will be able to help with the locations of some that you are not sure of...never be afraid to post any that you have because we have lost a lot of buildings since you took them...you are helping to preserve history that we have lost
all the best

Great photos!
#10 doesn't look like Eastfield Road.
Could 27 be a greyhound track? Don't think it's Hall Green, Perry Barr maybe?
How about Babb's Mill Lake over at Kingshurst with the River Cole running alongside?I thought I recognised the lake in Post 13 as Forge Mill Lake in Sandwell Valley where the river Tame runs alongside, but can't fit with present day...
Late 70s amateur Aerial Photos, city and south to Longbridge
I came across this Forum just a little time ago whilst googling something entirely unrelated, and have dropped back at times and rekindled a lot of memories, learned more than a few things about the City's history and growth both before and after I arrived blinking in to this world just after...birminghamhistory.co.uk
Thanks for the suggestion, and from Google Earth it is certainly easy to see a 50-years shapeshifted version being an option but for its perceived surroundings. On a side note, I'm certainly getting a crash-course on Birmingham lakes!I thought I recognised the lake in Post 13 as Forge Mill Lake in Sandwell Valley where the river Tame runs alongside, but can't fit with present day...
Thanks Malvernian, and there seems very little doubt that that is it ... corroborated also by the presence of smaller Shard End Lake a little to the NW which also appears in the 70's photo though in no real detail ... excellent!How about Babb's Mill Lake over at Kingshurst with the River Cole running alongside?
I think #10 is the railway tunnel on The Radleys. Amazing photos, thanks for sharing them
