Walford Road Sparkbrook

Eddie - Hopefully I've got the correct Walford Road corner. Looking on Streetview Wainwright's shop looks the worse for wear. A couple of positives about the shop; it still has a Twinnings sign above the entrance and a cigarette (?) machine in Medlicott Road. The shop must have once been a grocers (business run by Nolan). Or was this the shop opposite Wainwright's and Wainwright's was on the other corner of Medlicott ie to the right of the photo below? ?

Brilliant photo - a relative used to have a laundry shop on the same side as Wainwrights but the opposite corner. Thank you for sharing
