springfield road moseley

I think this is it today - I say ",think" as there are 2 Springfield Roads neither of which today I would call Moseley
(this one starts at Stratford Road and ends on Wake Green Road which has a Moseley postcode). This is tge Stratfford Road end.

The other is closer to King's Heath.
 
hi jan very difficult to pinpoint no clues but looking again at the horse and cart on the left is he turning into a road or st or just talking to someone over the front garden wall :D could be a clue

I wondered that but decided there wasn't a big enough gap for a street.
At least we know the houses (some altered) are still there on both sides of the road
 
The Springfield Road photo was posted by Phil, on BHF and was dated as 1903. the map shown would have been where the allotments were - left hand side of the pic. It was on the 29A bus route, which started in 1936, to take in all the new developments in Hall Green which were not covered by the 29 or 37 routes.

The photo is taken looking south along Springfield Road .... the horse and cart are outside the detached house at No 59, which I think is still standing.

In 1950's until 1956 the cricket grounds were our school playing fields, rugby as well as cricket. They were on the right just up from College Rd. That was KEGS Camp Hill prior to their move to Kings Heath.
