Hagley Road

[KevNuneaton]

According to Martin Hampson's book "Images of England: Edgbaston", (3 photos - 1 of outside, 2 of interior - pp124/125), it was indeed on corner of Francis Road and Hagley Road. Opened in 1884. Says from 1937 they were used for the Warwickshire Masonic Temple too. It says the building was demolished in the late 1960s as a result of the Five Ways road / building redevelopment.

Was very surprised to find these shops arenstill there. Even some remains of the entrance with two pillars can still be seen. The present day Rose Supermarket is at 159 Hagley Road.

Comments about Windsor Terrace, have been moved to a dedicated thread. Link below. The entry to these Grade 2 listed houses in this terrace was alongside the Hagley Road buildings in post #63.

OMG, walked many times up and down Hagley Road, in 50's and 60's, it certainly has changed, and not for the better in my opinion, I seem to remember it as a very middle class area!!!!

I really did not know it well, but that is exactly the way I remember it. Very middle class!

Kings Head, Hagley Road. The clock which once stood in front of the Kings Head, has in recent years been returned to the Hagley Road area (having served time in High Street Birmingham for a while - 1979 - 2015). But it is now returned across the road from the Kings Head - just behind the photographers position in the B&W photo - on Adkins Lane.
