Is this Gravelly Lane ?

This postcard is labelled 'Gravelly Hill', but is it Gravelly Lane given that it's signposting Perry Common off to the left ? Can't quite place it. Or was it, in fact, Gravelly Hill but was completely demolished to make way for Spaghetti Junction ?

I think your right Viv it was Gravelly Hill prior to being completely demolished to make way for Spaghetti Junction. The car on the left is outside the Erdington Arms and Slade Road. Tyburn Road on the right.
 
Salford Bridge around 100 years ago, looking in the other direction on Gravelly Hill, with Slade Road to the right and Tyburn Road on the left:
