Bob Moore was born in Birmingham in 1940 and has lived all his life in and
around the city.
Many of the photos are from the 1960s and many of the buildings and streets photographed from this time have now disappeared from the face of Birmingham, the majority seem to have been for the general benefit of the citizens of the city.
If we are not very careful however, nostalgia can be an uneasy bedfellow. It can easily influence ones memory. It is too easy to forget that, in truth, this was a time of real poverty and hardship in the inner city area.
Dedicated to all the friendly and co-operative people of Birmingham he photographed.
I have a collection of black and white photos taken by Bob during the sixties, unfortunately they
are not named locations although some have been discovered by some clever detective work.
Bob did say that they were taken in the inner city areas, mainly Balsall Heath, Highgate,Ladywood and areas in that general direction.
With a bit of luck some of the faces or places may be recognised..
