College Road Moseley

A leafy College Road in Moseley. All the houses in this photo survive today including the one just visible through the trees.


College Road today and a post box still in the road but moved from where it was in the old photo.

A pity some gardens , even if the were small, have gone from the houses on the right of the photo. It cheapens the appearance of the street.

Two other views of College Road. Is the man in white in the first image, in front of the cart (left), a milkman ?

I agree, Vivienne, it is a milkman. Yet another tradesman who called most days and was one of many who saw that people were not isolated from the rest of society. Another feature that out of town shops and supermarkets are responsible for in our modern, often unwelcoming society.

You can get to know the variety of couriers that bring your on-line shopping.

I suppose it could be a bread delivery man, but milkman is more likely
