Hi Capt Black I went to Armoury Rd around about 1989 and took some pics I will have to get my old pasports out and just verify the date but whatever year it was all the houses were gone. I will get on to it shortly and call in again Old Brummymstephens what a set of fantastic pics. from what i can remember the house were knocked down from about 1986/7 onwards. the main factory from about 1977 ish onwards. (it took years if i remember)
the first pic is taken from Golden Hillock Rd near to the junction of Anderton Rd looking towards the factory
the second is taken just inside the factory right at the top of Armoury Rd - the pub was called The Sydenham, from where the pic is took used to be a huge christmas tree every year
the third is from the same position as the second but panned slightly to the right,
the fourth......well says it all reaally
i remember when the BBC filmed gangsters, they were there for about two or three days. i have some pics of the road when they were knocking the house and the factory down if anyone is interested. also i could take my camera and take some from the above positions sort of then and now again if anyone is interested.
once again thanks for showing them.
Capt Black I filled in the URL for the pics and submitted Let me know if the pics arrive Cheers Old Brummy
