Old street pics..

[RHM]

I mentioned my step-father Malcolm Dyche & his father Ernest, who were professional Photographers at 354 Moseley Road, and his father Ernest previously from 1910 in Coventry Road.
Here is some more information about the business, please have a look at the Balsall Heath Local History News Letter in the attached pdf document below, giving lots more details.
Couple shown below are my Step-Father Malcolm Dyche & My mother Pauline on their wedding day (both now deceased). Does anyone have good memories of going to their studio?.

Welcome Rita. I’m sure our members would like to be kept up to date about the exhibition if you’d kindly let us know through BHF. And if there’s any material you can (or are able to) share, or indeed need help with, we are always willing to help. If so perhaps you’d like to start a thread exclusively for that purpose.

Many thanks.

Viv.

Thank you Viv. I will come back to BHF as the exhibition begins to shape up a bit more.

best wishes
Rita

I know that I've been to the roof garden, but annoyingly can't remember details, though think there was a small bridge over a stream. So it was good to see the photos.

HI Lyn
I Know you posted this a long time ago in this thread post 988
it caught my Eye as I was going through these great pictures, as the building was
very close to where we lived in Lawrence St about (50 feet) from our house
not wanting to nit pick, but I think you will find the side street was Duke St
going down to Coleshill St. we often played in these streets as kids
and interestingly I believe the Business is still going today, in another area of Birmingham

If you put Victoria Road into the search box , you will find a lot of references to it. In particular a thread at https://birminghamhistory.co.uk/forum/index.php?threads/victoria-road-aston.2523

I have inherited some albums a few of Erdington wished there was more of Erdington back in the 20s/30s

Those are super photos. I am trying to place the location of the Short Heath Park photo

 

[Lady Penelope]

Yes, a lovely picture. Morturn, the building behind looks like a business doesn't it? I'm trying to picture the park without the pre-fabs which were built post-war. The railings are right for the original park. I'll try to find a map.

Some slight edits on these 1920s photos

1_Obviously Erdington High Street, the churchyard wall and tramtracks visible.


2_They are sitting inside a park with a road behind and possibly a shop.


3_The boy stands looking relaxed (cool) with high waist trousers and braces just like the clothes I wore in the 1940s.


4_Interesting motor bike, and she sits side saddle.

 

[Maria Magenta]

And the sandals in no. 3 - they were still being worn in the 60s and maybe 70s.
