121 Bordesley Green in 1974, old style local clothes shop on the corner with Green Shield stamps offered, baker next door and not a national company in sight. Austin 1100 and Vauxhall Viva in the Side street with the Cast Iron street name behind the Austin

Lovely picture of the corner of Carlton Road and Bordesley Green. I knew this shop well... used to buy stockings/tights from there.
Good to see the sash cord windows with the added touch of leaded lights at the top of each (before we all went double glazing mad).
Thank you.

'Evelyn's' drapery and fancy goods shop.

Probably a 1960s view of the same shop. Seems a more organised shop by then. It may also have once been a wool shop run by Mrs Morley. And/or maybe 'Evelyn' was Mrs Morley.

That view is the other end of Carlton Road, the junction with Bordesley Green. My aunt lived in nearby Victoria Street and we visited that Braggs cake shop many times!

Oh yes, if magnified you can see different features to the shop posted in the Green Lane thread. Braggs the Bakers - that's a blast from the past. Have moved post to this separate thread.
