Gone, but not forgotten.
Peter & Ernie,
These are the best snaps of Nechells Park Rd that I can sort out at the moment.
They are perhaps a little older than desired, but it didn’t change much until recently did it?

Peter. Sorry to hear how you are feeling, hoping you will feel much better after your rest. TAKE CARE Pete.
pmc1947. Phil once again GREAT PHOTOGRAPHS. That area was just an occasional place that I visited but remember some of it quite well and the photographs really help to bring it all back again.

I remember it, but at the same time cannot remember if I would be looking towards Nechells Green in the distance along Nechells Park Road or in the opposite direction.
I think I may have been right the first time after looking at the photo again, please put me right if I am wrong.
