42.Westminster Road Primary School 2006

This was my first primary school and I have nothing but the fondest memories of it - the first and last year I enjoyed attending a school. I remember that part of the playground was grassed over, but there's no sign of any grass now.

8.Erdington Public Library 2005

This was built facing the Green on the site that used to be occupied by the Erdington Workhouse. In the distance can be seen the Honeywell building, which looks new but I remember it being there in the 1960s. In the immediate foreground is a small green post that went unnoticed at the time of the photograph so I can shed no light upon its purpose.

Update 26/7/08: I've since examined it and it appears to be an iron buffer to deter vehicles from driving over the kerb to cut off the corner.
