Note: This post and numbers #112 - #127 posts were re-located to this thread from the Birchfield Road Perry Barr thread, as the image has subsequently been identified as Lichfield Road.
This image is labelled as Birchfield Road in the 1950s. But I'm not exactly sure whereabouts on Birchfield Road it is. Nice sports car behind the trams. Viv.

This is one of the pictures I've been looking for years, I lived just three doors away from this junction.
The picture is the junction of Lichfield Road, Church Lane, Victoria Road and Sandy Lane, on the right 79 tram is outside Doctor Goulds Surgery on the corner of Sandy Lane on the other side of Sandy Lane is The Vine Pub.
On the left hand side is the corner of Church Lane and Lichfield Road and was the bomb site one of the shops was our fish and chips the Germans bombed.
on the other side of Church Lane was houses that was bombed and also in Victoria Road next to the Salvation Army Hall.
In the picture corner of Church Lane was a second hand car sales on the bomb site.
The no. 5 Lozells tram ran up Victoria Road, I rember one night getting on the no 5 tram just entered Victoria Road and there was sparks every where the over head pick had come off the lights in the tram went out and must have blown a safety devise we had to wait for the power to be restored.
Great picture brings back a lot of memories of my wartime childhood.
Thank you for the picture it would be lovely if I could get a picture of the same corner before the bombing
