Percy Road Greet

[mikejee]

This photo is labelled as Percy Road where school now is. That would put it somewhere in range nos 2-44. The school was built in the 19th century, possibly around 1895. Unfortunately the directories do not include street lists for that area that early as it was not in Birmingham, so cannot determine anything more

The shop is at 68 Percy Road, Greet. The 1921 Kelly's Directory lists it as William Grant greengrocer .... and the photo was posted on FB by his great granddaughter.
N.B. The Greet Primary School site was extended down Percy Road a few decades ago to cover the shop location.
The shop is shown in the attached aerial photo dated 1 June 1935. Credit: britainfromabove.
