Can anyone identify the photographs below. Taken around 1971, I'm sure i've seen similar ones (other than when i took them) , but where was it?

I've still got no idea where it is, but if you look at 2022 to the left what looks behind an elevated railway bank there looks to be what is an empty Gasometer. This makes me think of Aston Church Rd. Do you remember another photo we had trouble with it was looking over what looked like a canal/river wall at a Gasometer and I said I thought that was Aston Church rd as well.

Its just a thought mate.

I'm not sure of the exact location but it's the Longbridge Pumping Station. You must have been a bit off your usual beaten track that day. Take a look at this Phyllis Nicklin Slide in the Keith Berry Collection.

That's great Phil. You never give up do you!. I attach a map (now i know what it is) of junction of Bristol Road south and Lickey road to Rednal. I don't remember it at all, but must have passed it on the road many times. It wasn't exactly outside my territory, in that I only lived just up bristol road south, but didn't take many photos around the area.
Thanks a lot mate
From google, it looks like its a car park now
