great pics thanks.
great pics thanks.
Maybe some of the photo wizards here could put a little definition to the photo. It might, then, be possible to get an approximate date from the corner shops. One thing is certain as it is pre 1939 - trams are running. However, it seems much older than that, possibly around the end of WW1 - give or take a couple of years.
Thank you for sharing the 1925 flood. My great great grandfather was awarded certificate etc from the Royal Humane society for his actions during that particular flood seems he saved 29 people that day.Another in 1925 too. It had been a problem for a very long time. Efforts to solve the problem seem to have been long and drawn out; in 1905 there was a public enquiry involving Smethwick Council to contribute to the work, The work obviously failed as shown by the later collapse of the surrounding structures. Below are some clippings from the British Newspaper Archives - sorry, images not too good. Viv.
