Three pics of Kingstanding Road ...
Kingstanding Road in 1946. As a young child I often walked along there looking at the horses in the Co op dairy behind the fence on the right of the view. A Co-op milk float (horse drawn) is in the pic behind the cyclist. The large telegraph poles seen in the pic always fascinated me and they carried 54 wires and some can be seen glinting in the sun on the right against the trees.
An existing forum pic below dated 1943 shows the view from the other direction and this shows air raid shelters opposite Goodway Road. The Co-op dairy can be seen on the left with the army Drill Hall behind it, and the telegraph poles.
An earlier pic below (date unknown) shows a view looking up towards Hawthorn Road on the right. Notice the earlier style street lights and older looking bus.
