Pershore Road

Pershore Road is a long road so you may want to be more specific in your query.
However, if you use the search facility (magnifying glass top right) and search for threads with Pershore Road in the title quite a number of threads come up about different aspects of the road.

OLD BIRMINGHAM PHOTOS FROM STEVEBHx

Beehive Warehouse - Masshouse Lane 1971, iconic, derelict building looks like its shedding plaster work, I cannot imaging walking down that fire escape but I believe it was around for many years after this. Can I point out the lamp bottom left on the picture

Thankyou it is or was no 1370 I found in a trade directory .
 
Alfred and Nellie Quiney are there on the ERs from the 1920s to the 1960s. There's a couple of mentions of them in the Bham Mail 1942 about the death of their son Leonard Alfred.
 
The Pigott smith map c1824 shows (see below) the course of the Projected turnpike from Birmingham to Pershore, so I huess it did

If it's them, them Alfred was listed as goldsmith/jeweller at the start of the century but on his son's probate record he was a ladies outfitter.

There is a picture here of a tram passing the the British Oak which is 1364 Pershore Road, unfortunately (if the numbers were the same) 1370 would have been just off the photo to the right...

If it's Leonard Alfred then sadly there's not a lot else to see. The other son Harold Francis married a Gladys Allen and is on the ERs from late 1930s next door at 1372 Pershore Road, a newsagent in 1939.
 
This is one fancy home ! Probably regarded as very modern in style in 1867. The conservatory/solarium must have been very much admired. Not too sure where the entrance was supposed to be.

I wonder where exactly on Pershore Road this was/is.

looks very grand..i wonder if it was actually ever built as i think some from the builder magazine were not...
 
Found a Library of Birmingham record that says it was near Speedwell Road. Seems to have been demolished - Calthorpe Park now occupying the site. Viv.
