Although the shop fronts have changed, these are still there. The B&W photo is dated 1963. The shops are next to the Tennis Court pub. Park Stores is now a dental practice.

Looks like a new roof on the dental practice, at least now 62 years on the site has not been brutalized.
A couple more of Walsall Road, posted previously by other members. The laye Oldmohawk's image, seems to show new housing, with boards etc lying in amongst the trees.

Yes it is, I just had a look! It was number 338, by a bus stop now.
My Nan moved out to a cottage in a village in South Worcestershire not very long afterwards, my grandad had died a few years before and Nan couldn't afford to pay a mortgage, no Widows pensions in those days if you were under a certain age (she was in her late 50s) she had no other source of income.
