nice pics of northfield in the old days ,
the 1912 was very country fyed
the 1981 pic you are showing was not at the time of the b,ham riots
it was done by a druken louts coming up the road from the bell public house
on the junction of bristol rd and bell lane
i can actualy recall that incident happening ,at the time i was collecting
information from an estate agents whom are well know , in b,ham
and i will not name names because its in proper for me to do that
but i used to do the repossesion of houses ,in that part of b,ham in 1981
and all around that area,
you can take it from me it was not nothink to do with the rioting in b,ham
we was having agood laugh about it in the estates agents , believe me
astonian ,;;;
