The original site of Erdington Green was laid out in 1887 in the north-east corner of the junction of Mason Road and Orphanage Road. In 1906 Erdington Library was built on the Green, making it a small triangle at the junction of the High Street and Orphanage Road.
Most images we see of Erdington Green seem to be of the smaller 'Village Green' area.
I notice the low level building marked with a red dot in Pedro's photo was, at some point, replaced with the much larger building in the second photo, it being still there today. The building to the left (blue dot) is stil there, but has been modified.
