Seeing that photo again reminds me of that pointed tower which also shows in the coloured version in the birchfield road..perry barr thread although it has gone in one of the pics there.

 

[Bishopsmate]

Lovely Photos - Thank you so much for sharing.
Can't find much about Hall Green on here so really, really appreciated these.
Thanks again

Bishopsmate is there any particular road you were looking for?

 

[Bishopsmate]

No, not really. I just enjoy browsing the old photos and wondered if anyone had any of Hall Green or could suggest where I could look.
I am not trying to cause waves as I enjoy this forum so much.

 

[carolina]

Thats okay I just wondered if I had got any that I could put on for you.

thank you both and thank you Mohawk for the links.
I am still exploring this forum and tend to start with the day's posts and work through those threads. I have certainly learnt a lot about my City.
I shall now 'pop' off and explore 'Old Streets'.
thanks again
