Two disparate enquiries/pleas. Re Lyndhurst Estate, I am still seeking photos of the estate in 60s-70s, particularly Rowden Drive and the shops, and perhaps Lyndhurst Primary School. Re Park Road, Aston, I have 'inherited' an old newspaper cutting showing the only photo I have ever seen of Park Road. I would love a better copy, or indeed any photos of this long-demolished road. I am guessing the photos is from Birmingham Evening Mail, but don't know. Can anyone help me please ?

RosemaryB, Have you used the search top right hand of this page to search for both area's, ?, if you are still unable to find any photo's of Park Road, I have a few on my facebook group site " AstonBrook Through AstonManor " but I would try the search on here first you will get better replies.

Aston Lad,
I looked up "Old photographs of Birmingham". I found a photo of Lyndhurst under construction. Not sure how I found it. Not very good with the computer hope you can work it out.

This would be about 1950 because of the 3X tram (Witton to Martineau Street) which I caught many times, I lived in Queens Road bottom of hill 1s right 1930/35 and 1943/48 (Am 93 YO). Eric

I remember that very well on the way to my aunt Agenes and Uncle Bill!
Kudos to you Eric! Congratulations on 93 YY!
I am embarrassingly useless re search functions etc, and don't use Facebook, so would be so welcome for any help you can give to me
What a great photo. Thank you so much.

Rosemary, go to the search logo (a magnifying glass), click it and type Lyndhurst Estate. There is a lot there and with what Lyn sent regarding post 5 you should have plenty to look at.
