Wow that's great Lyn. The plaque looks like it's inset into a white plastered wall. And unless the person who took the photo was very small, I'd say it was possibly high up on a wall from the angle of the photo. None of the fixing holes seem to be there either. It looks like an interior photo as there's a flash reflection on the lower right of the photo. One thing we can be certain of, is that this must have been taken when the plaque was in its original location.
Thanks for the Sutton New Road PO date. That fits in much better with what we know. So the large PO was built 4 years before the Sutton (New) Road expansion.
Now then, what does this all tell us? Well, the village green PO must have been demolished before 1934. And the Sutton (New) Road PO most definitely would have replaced the services formerly provided by the village green PO. Given the size of the Sutton (New) Road PO, there must have been a great demand for PO services; not just mail delivery but sorting, parcels, telegrams, telephones, money transactions etc. It must have become a key PO for a rapidly expanding town/area. If the plaque had been removed from the village green PO, then the new Sutton (New) Road PO was the obvious place for it to be re- sited.
Again though, we are none the wiser as to why it ended up in Ladywood.
Thanks Lyn. Viv.
