Leach Street Ladywood

[Vivienne14]

The article records the end of back-to-back house clearance, with Leach Street having the few remaining back-to-back buildings in 1970.



This 1954 photo of the Duke of Wellington pub from Birmingham Library Archives shows Leach Street on the left. The street once ran from Monument Road to Freeth Street

I was confused at first as I could only see Beach Street
Then realised Leach Street was further along.

Thanks Mike. It's an empty site today, so either the site was never built on after the 1970s clearance or what replaced it has also since been demolished.
