So we have done a 360 from both sides of the road - the only view left now is this one of the Vine, an imposing three storey building, but looking pretty quite on this day. Still has the square " globe" over the door and sash windows upstairs. Now it looks like a practice sheet for graffiti...

and to complete the 360 degree tour we re now looking down Church Lane to Aston , as with Victoria Road we can no longer join with Lichfield road - although it does look a bit quieter

We seem to be taking a slow 360 degree tour of the site - we now are looking at Victoria Road again not much has changed although we can no longer join Lichfield Road here. We seem to be at the start of the road works around here with the flexible fencing and the portacabins on the left.

we now turn around and look he opposite direction not much to see but it looks if the road widening is about to start. Modern day seems to have a lot more trees, but there seems not much to add. If you look very carefully you can see the HP sauce chimney just below the sign to the left of the...

Roll 46 :party: A short roll as a quick look shows that there are many duplicates and even without checking I can see that I have posted these before. Something a bit more modern - These were taken in 1991 and a few general views - this is Lichfield Road looking towards Aston, I think the...

and last off this roll - 98 Aberdeen Street which my list informs me is an outdoor. Corner property with you can just make out a shop on the left, , the outdoor seems to be lacking any distinguishing signs that it is open at all.

Next we have 101 Arthur Street Sandpitts, rather a large and imposing building, M&B branding and three storeys , my question, is this a pub or an outdoor, seems rather large just for out sales - but there is no sign to say otherwise - or am I just missing something -Note also the delivery doors...

Just to complete the roll we have these last few The first is in Peel Street Winson Green taken in 1955, again a simple Outdoor, plenty of leaded glass an etched front door and it looks like a brass door latch, large lamp bracket and painted wall ( old sign? ) and to the side an old cobbled...

Next we have 131 Lawden Street taken in 1957, simple property over three floors but love the window display, selection of bottles and and the plate glass with patterns and Bitter and Mild.

We now go back to the pubs and outdoors of Roll 45, this is an easy one - Wheatsheaf Latimer Street, this is another of those I feel I have posted before - but as the are starting to merge now I am sure its not , the picture has a photo shopped look about with e background missing - Stonework...

Last of the tram picture on this roll we have Bristol Road Selly Oak , and the No. 70 to Rednal, first question - the advert on the front of the tram - what is it for? Mr Marlin / Martins Chunky? Bits and pieces in the background, in front of the tram we have a small child and a bike lying on...

Next we have Vittoria Road and Wellington Street Winson Green , we have everything in this one tram, rail embankment, pub and bundy clock. Although I dont have a year this is a much older image, tram has the open balcony at both ends and the pickup is the wider type, compare with the previous...

Apologies for the quality and description of this first image - we have " Old tram Erdington" which linked with the quality of the picture is not much help but its an old picture of a tram so I am sure it will do - moving away from us - angle of the collector rail on the roof, Littlewoods...

A bit different now is this tram standing on Washwood Heath Road , I dont have a year but I feel it must be in the '50's , I like how the adverts vary - Tizer down the side however E. Goodman complete house Furnishers is on the front , love the shop frontages and people going around their...

Offering a nice background to this No. 8 is the Harborne Road, note as mentioned on the last picture the Vernons sign along the side. Nice selection of buildings, iron railings and telephone box. Classic JOJ number plate, I was going to be clever and google JOJ and say what it was but JOJ number...
