Aston, Lozells & Witton Photos Reposted thanks to Ray Griffiths...

- Start date
This photo taken on Sunday, 25 March 1906 shows Aston Bridge just as it had been erected. It weighed 300 tons and was placed into position within 15 minutes so as to prevent traffic delays. These are local people checking out the new bridge. Viv.

Just seen the post which showed the VIP garage in electric avenue. My old friend Paul Storr had a car sales pitch on the garage forecourt in the late sixties after moving from gravelly hill, always remember the shop near by that sold hot meat sandwiches, brings back happy memmories.
