    we are now using a backup solution

Lozells Road, Shops, Pubs, Businesses etc

Interesting to see the row of houses at the start of Villa Road that where there before they must have been demolished and the bank was built - I think it was a Lloyd's?

i wished i could remember which house my friend lived in :rolleyes: ...pretty certain the front door was on the right as you walked up the path and looking at how far i think it was from the old bank i am taking a guess it could have been no 51 with the white door...what i find sad is the loss of so many old houses in hall road..i was just taking a google walk down it and noticed that if we turn down hall road first on the left is called tollgate drive..nice touch just a shame we have lost so many old buildings..this is why i think these wonderful aerial shots are so important as they show us just what we have lost over the years

Unfortunately Lyn the only photo with those shops on (front view) are really poor quality with no detail whatsoever.
The image with Bendall's corner was from a set showing the Denison factory (and thereabouts), they were brilliant quality.
