Hamstead Road Handsworth

I have created this thread as we have a thread that covers Hamstead Road/Church Road, but not one that covers just Hamstead Road https://birminghamhistory.co.uk/forum/index.php?threads/hamstead-road-church-hill-handsworth.34162/
This thread is about Hamstead Road only.
Although the B&W timbered building has a sign "Toll House," but this building wasn't actually the toll house. (See previous posts)
A good view of the park lodge on Hamstead Road - not possible to get the same view on Streetview, but the lodge is still there and seems in good order.
71 Hamstead Road, replaced with new (residential ?) buildings
To the right is Radnor Road
This view still quite similar today.
Lych gate to St Mary's Church

A couple more. Think I've got the correct location for the first one, but the second photo I'm not sure. I thought it might be by St Marys Church, but can't be certain.
