The ascending roof lines, rising into the distance, along with that distinctive brickwork below the roof., together with the front gardens with a bow window on the ground floor - Look like Oldknow Road.

I agree, the perspective of the houses (particularly on the left hand side), is spot on. A remarkable bit of detective work MickyMoo.

I think this is the junction with Bankes Road. The corner shop was a general store. Floyer Road is the next one down the hill. The fence on the right was around St. Benedict's Church. The colour photo is Floyer Road. The shop on the corner used to be a wine and beer shop with Kendalls grocery store opposite.

hi all the photo above fits perfectly with my memories of 8/94 Arthur st Small Heath in the 1940/50s, the cupboard behind the lady was as near mom came to a food store, there would have been a bay window behind the boy with the sandwich and along that wall was the door into the house, our table was in the same place as the one in the photo it was the only place with room for us five kids to sit where mom could dish up.
the photo would have been taken from the kitchen doorway which also led to the coal house under the stairs and the twisting stairs to the two bedrooms happy days. Regards Acklam19.
