    I visit King's Heath and Moseley quite a bit and they are definitely more inviting than Erdington with farmers Markets and other regular events and an increase in independent shops:emmersed: Even Acocks Green isn't as depressing as Erdington. https://www.libraryofbirmingham.com/moseleygallery...

    Bishop Ryder Junior And Infant School

    Trying to send you an instant message but it seems to be disabled. My Grandparents lived at 57 from the early forties up until my Grandfather died in 64 and my father lived there also until 1955. The name wasn't James but the house was next to the shop.

    New Street Station (phased redevelopment completed 2015)

    Don't think it's too big as the precedent has already been set with the large office block on Corporation Street becoming a Staybridge Hotel.. https://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=1463075 Apologize for going slightly off thread:bi_polo: Transformed...

    New Street Station (phased redevelopment completed 2015)

    Thank's ell, surprised it's not been snapped up in such a central location. Not a very interesting design, it requires a bit of reinventing.

    I don't remember those houses at all. Do you remember the name of the alleyway of terraced houses off Cattell Road just up from the Greenway Pub facing the Blues Ground?:05.18-flustered:.

    Yes it's is just past the Wrexham, you can see it to the left. The derelict building looks a similar design and almost matches the Wrexham. Used to frequent that stretch of road in my young boozier days, the Oxford was my favourite:unconscious:. A nice piece by Bill Dargue...
