An old and new view of Pershore Road. St Agnes Church in view (built 1903 but demolished in the 1980s). Quite a few of the shops are still there but the Church was replaced by a supermarket.

A question: what is the geographical difference between Cotteridge and Stirchley ? They seem to be names that are interchangeable. Viv.
 
Thanks Pete. Shall separate the posts onto a Cotteridge thread. Edit, now done.

Here's a view looking from the other direction. Viv.

On both of these items it's named as The Cotteridge". Maybe it was a reference to an earlier house called The Cotteridge House ? See attached map. Viv.

A few snippets of history about Cotteridge and the Cotteridge House :

"Cotteridge House was built c1680 in Motts Field, a name referring to a moat, a feature of many 13th-century manor houses and substantial farms. The house is now demolished and the site between Middleton Hall Road and Watford Road built over".


And according to a Birmingham Mail article

" ...........1841 Census it is not clear who was living in Cotteridge. Cotteridge then consisted of two houses and five cottages!".
