Ash Road Saltley

Ash Road, Saltley

I'm curious as to why my mother's family moved from Crawford St. to Ash Road. She says it seemed like a posh place compared to Crawford St. So. I'm wondering did something happen around 1940 to make this possible? and who lived at 44 Ash Road before them?

Fox and Goose Washwood Heath

My earliest memory was catching a Tram from the Fox and Goose to city centre with my mother. My next is the Baggott Island watching the Trams turn around on the Island as it had a turn table in the middle, Im not sure if its still there as all they seemed to do was fill it in or so it seemed.

Lee Crescent

Post in thread 'Lee Crescent, Lee Bank'

Apr 16, 2024

This row of late-georgian terraced houses have, surprisingly, survived substantial modern redevelopment of the area, despite one side of the road being demolished for widening of Lee Bank Road.

Phyllis Nicklin captured the Crescent in !953 - colour photo.

The 1950s black and white photos are from the Library of Birmingham

The Square was for a long time one of the most prestigious addresses in Town. By my reckoning it is now under The Priory Queensway, lost in the 1870s development of Corporation Street area. What might be interesting and useful is if the forum can identify the people that lived in the Square...
