Going back a week when we were looking at Camp Hill. I just found this 1937 aerial shot which clearly shows it was never a pleasant site.Enjoyed this series of postings on Camp Hill. Previously thought that KEGS had been built on a "green field" site. Quote from school records "In 1883 the school began its life in the just completed buildings on a pleasant site near the outskirts of B'ham" In fact the school was even then boxed in on two sides by the railway, built 1841.
