I have recently found a great book (in size as well as content) by Meacham. It includes hundreds of newscuttings about Erdington. You will see that they aren't very clear images but it's difficult to take photos and hold the book down! I'm not sure whether they are prints from the newspapers themselves or from the microfiche. I think they were probably collected in the 1960's.
I don't have Photoshop so can't enhance them but will willingly have another go at taking any that people would like to see. Unless of course someone can have a go at them please.
Perhaps we can move them to the appropriate threads once they look a bit better?

By the way, I still have another four books to go through!
1. This building stood where Woolworth's was eventually built.
2. The demolition of the White Lion - is that the Palace on the left?
3. Slade Road - heavy floods.
4. Red Lion, Station Road - haven't seen one of the shops next to the pub before.
