Still no luck with pictures as such or new information, but I did find this rather intriguing piece From this site: https://www.archiseek.com/2011/1899-houses-gravelly-hill-birmingham/ Now I don't think for a minute its Salford house, as the year is wrong, and its more likely one of the...

Unfortunately I can't embed the images, so its just links I'm afraid, but while searching around I found some exceptional high quality color scans of the area from around the 60s based on the cars, ads fashion etc. If you double click, it'll zoom into full magnification Hillside Road. Slade...

Thanks for the link! Looks very interesting, someone else doing similar research on the area.., much appreciated! (I live locally but I don't quite get around to that side or the canals, great to see)

No new photos or much info at least, but a few interesting bits and bobs, jamesg1977 found a photo of Joseph Thomas Chamberlain's grave, interred with his family at Key Hill Cemetry in Hockley: https://www.pinterest.se/pin/484911084857750945/visual-search/?x=16&y=16&w=530&h=671 I found a US...

Again I've run out of characters.., and the photo wouldn't load, so I had to post again, but I've found.... a picture!!! Yes, I've found it! At last, seeing a photo of salford bridge from britain from above got me thinking.., I checked the site.., and as luck would have it, they photographed the...

I didn't want to triple post, but it wouldn't let me add more to my previous post, and I found some more interesting info on previous residents! I decided, after chatting with a school teacher friend of mine, to use Google Books search feature which yielded some very positive results! I found a...

Sorry to double post, but some more info has come to light, some posts from another site, Birmingham history forum from 11 years ago of interest: "It was once called Safford my relatives lived in Safford House (Salford House) by Salford Bridge Slade Lane (Slade Road) that was the time the road...

While still no luck with photos of either house, something I thought was worth updating this topic with, a map posted by moderator Vivienne14 in the Erdington topic, of the area circa 1830 I just found It's a bit strange to get bearings to begin with, but, top left, just below and to the left...

I hope it's okay to bring this back up, I'd been searching for some photos of Salford House, and really any of Hillside/Chartley etc, as it's lovely to see the area in it's heyday, and while no luck on Salford, I found this lovely shot on Pinterest of all places (credit to whoever the lady or...

Hello and thanks for the replies everyone! That's really appreciated Lyn, and that's interesting about Burlington House too Pedrocut, I've ended up coming across a few things about the place including a few photos, as from time to time it's been mistaken for Salford due to it's location. And...

I sincerely hope it's okay for me to have resurrected such an old topic, but I have a few questions, and a few things to add about this! I thought it best to post it here, rather than start a new topic as it is very much a continuation I've lived in Erdington, and near the area where Salford...
