Right I'll try again, reposting from the other thread this image of Moseley Rd Balsall Heath. It shows that section of the road from Moores book shop to the Moseley Cinema. The dirty book shop to the flea pit.

These two photos would have been either side of my previous post. Oliver U Tallett's garage / car sales that ran from Sherbourne Rd to Moore's book shop. The other being an image of the road from the Moseley Cinema to Belgrave Rd.

Another photo taken on Moseley rd, this one further up toward town. In fact it is just short of Leoplold St and was taken outside Upper Highgate Girls School. Opposite Athelstan House Junior Remand Home.

Would that be the top of Balsall Heath Rd on the right hand edge of the picture ? Just beyond that building (which I think was a bank), would be B'ham Co-op's No 6 Grocery/Butchery branch, where I worked in the 50s.
God, it all looks so SHABBY !
