Had a ponder using my vivid imagination Lyn!
We know from Mike's research that the PO on the village green was there until at least 1924. We also know that in 1914 the village green PO probably wasn't big enough if it was thought necessary to extend it. I think the Holly Mount PO would have been near Holly Road, off Sutton Road and the village green PO would have moved there between 1924 and 1927.
Chris's email suggests the village green PO ceased to exist by 1927 (if the plaque was there it would only have been there for 5 years). Maybe the village green PO moved for several reasons: firstly inadequate accommodation. Maybe it needed better sorting facilities etc. Secondly, maybe it was affected by Sutton Road development diverting traffic around Erdington High Street. (I have a feeling this road was the predecessor to the later and wider Sutton New Road of 1938, hence the name Sutton New Road). I also wonder if the area along Sutton Road, near Holly Lane, was undergoing significant residential development sometime in the 1920s, making the PO in that part of Erdington more viable.
However, having said all that, the question is did the plaque move to Holly Mount PO?
As it was only 6-9 years since the end of WW1 and people had kindly put their hands in their pockets to pay for the memorial, I would say the answer is yes. Viv.
