A picture dated 1970's
Taken from outside the Dolphin pub door.
The car closest is on New Bond Street.
Folks, these pictures were salvaged from very poor and very old Kodak negatives. I have no idea what happened to the original prints.
The cars on the car park are on land that shared shops between New Bond Street and Watery Lane.
The advertising boards are on Watery Lane.
You can see the Old Lodge pub and the Maisoneetes that stood just past it at that time along with the paper mill.

Picture number 14.
New post.
I'm sure my sister won't mind this post...she's a grown women now.
I've posted this shot because of the scene behind her.
They are Bordesley Park Road houses.
I would dearly love to see some face on shots of those old houses, along with the little business's that were there when I was a kid.
This is the closest I've come to finding any.View attachment 75735Datedaround 1968.

Hi Redken
This is not John Maloney i knew Ann and John well. I even ran The Wrexham for them for a few weeks prior to them having the Old Lodge. Maybe a relief Manager.

This is fantastic, I’ve been looking for photos of the maisonettes for ages, I lived here between 1949 & 1960. Thanks for posting

I remember this estate well. Was quite sad to see a whole community moved to make way for a road scheme.

You're right, it is sad when this happens, doyou remember what year that was?

I have a feeling it was demolished in the late 80's
