The photo is labelled Bearwood Road. The church on the corner is St Mary's, and the drapers on the opposite side of the road are on the corner of Rutland Road, though previous to 1900 it was Milton Road. The 1902 smaller scale map shows the buildings on the opposite side of the Rutland Road jumction to have been demolished, prior to rebuilding, so the photo must be pre 1902
