Hi Lynn

In my 1952 Bartholomews Wellesley Street is Birmingham 19, between Nursery Road, crosses Farm Street and into Bridge Street West.
 
hi di
thanks for that i know this may sound sad but what area is birmingham 19!
lynn
 
hi di
cancel that silly request! found it i think!
lynn
 
LYNN THERE IS ALSO A WOLSELEY STREET IN BIRMINGHAM 9.
JUST A THOUGHT. ;)
 
Lynn its as Di said earlier its in Aston/Hockley area and classed really as part of "Summer Lane". :)

Bridge Street West is still there,,with Police Staion on the corner/Summer Lane :police:

Farm Street,,only the top part (Hockley end) is still there,, Rest is newer houses & grassed areas.

Just a bit of "Info" to keep you up to date,,Cheers John O0
 
Thanks John. I wasn't sure how much of that part of Brum still stands. I only drive along Summer Lane, whiich has changed beyond belief. :-\
 
moss ive bought the nursery road newagents thread to the top for you...not sure if you have seen it as there are lots of pics on it including the one you have just posted....
