Maria Twist has included in her book Saltley, Duddeston & Nechells a wealth of delightfull photos, many dating from the early 20C. With chapters on housing, industry, churches, public buildings, schools & colleges the author is to be commended on providing a rounded insight into the area.
It is sad that the photos were not scanned to produce better quality pictures, but perhaps in 2001 this was not possible. I do look forward to more authors & publishers taking advantage of new technology to satisfy reader demand.
Photos attached here:
1) Heneage St
2) Glover, Dartmouth & Crawford St
3) New Canal, Northumberland, Richard, Rowland & Lawley Sts
4) Woodcock & Saltley Baths
