I was just wandering..

[wessex]

Went for a walk last saturday.Did hop on a bus to cover part of the trip,but took some pics to share.

Started at Warwick rd Olton,went through acocks and Tysley.Bus to Sparkbrook,then via Trinity to the canal,then town,on to Hockley,then bus back.

The pics are not great,I'm no photographer,but what they are is real,warts an all.They sum up where I went,unposed,just as it happened.

The second pic shows the gap where the lovely old flemmings hotel was burnt down.
It does say that flats are due to be built shortly.

These take us past the hollow,and a view into Acocks.

 

[wessex]

Now into the start of Acocks,is that the Dolphin chippy I hear you ask?

 

[wessex]

To the old Dolphin pub area,by Victoria Rd,I used to live up there 20+ years back.
However useful Aldi and co are,they're far too ugly to replace the Dolphin.

 

[wessex]

The old trader/Red Lion pub,and Sainsburys area.

 

[wessex]

On to the centre of the Green.
Sorry about the head in the pic with the old Rover.Had to get the car in,my dad's first car in the 50s was that model,even the same colour.

Around the island.

 

[wessex]

Up to Tysley,notice the Maxi....sexy car for the early 70s,bit worn out by 81/82 when this last of the model 2s were sold.

 

[wessex]

The shakespeare hotel,and Trinity church,Camp Hill.

A 'Cut' above the rest?

Watery Lane entrance to the canal,heading through Digbeth.

I really enjoyed looking at those. Don't know the Acocks Green/Tyseley area very well (although my husband comes from Tyseley) so it's nice to view somewhere I never go to. I feel a trip on the No 11 is needed!
