Kingstanding Police Station - Kingstanding Road.

I bought my first new bike from Knights which was in that row of shops, when a bit younger I bought Dinky cars from there too.
 
Was Heward's (check spelling) for many years, now betfred, some ghost signs of times past can still be seen
 
I think there were plans to close Kingstanding police station, but I guess they are on hold. The billiard hall appeared to be serving food, and drink outside a few months ago when I passed by.
Hewards what a blast from the past. Sorry to see it go, you could always get something you needed there, but what a tight squeeze if more than two people in the shop. It was packed to the rafters
