Where is This? #195

[Phil]

One last one for tonight, I don't suppose I will check it before morning but have a go all the same.

Phil

 

[Astoness]

this looks a hard one phil...will ponder on it...

 

[pollypops]

I got excited then Lyn - I thought you knew it! It is a brilliant picture - just wish I knew where it was.....

 

[Vivienne14]

A wild guess. View from Church Road Perry Barr looking towards St. John the Evangelist Church, Perry Barr. Viv.

 

[Lloyd]

Is it Church Hill Rd looking towards St Mary's on Hamstead Rd?

 

[Astoness]

pol..i wish i did know where it is...like you say a lovely photo..at a very wild guess then phil....yardley village...

 

[Dollymixtures]

I thought the same as Lloyd - St Mary's, Hampstead Road in the distance. Couldn't decide whether it was being viewed from the Church Hill Rd area or the other side - Grove Lane/Hinstock Rd?

 

[Astonian]

that as to be dudley zoos castle on the high ground in the distane
possible tat bank rd
tipton old houses segley i think they called it in those days

 

[dek carr]

Could this be Northfield somewhere near Church Hill. Dek

 

[Phil]

Sorry nobody is even close yet.

Phil

 

[Astoness]

ive change me mind now...im going to agree with Lloyd and say taken from churchill road handsworth...

 

[Astoness]

oh well back to the drawing board phil..

 

[ragga]

I think that a part of aston hall , part road / trinity road ??
ragga ...........

 

[Dollymixtures]

Is it Holy Trinity Church in Sutton from Rectory Rd/Riland Road area?

 

[pollypops]

Just a wild guess - Is the church (if it is a church) St Giles, Sheldon?

 

[Phil]

No Sorry we are still not there yet.

Phil

 

[Dollymixtures]

Is it St Mary's College, Oscott?

 

[pudding]

Hi Phil is it St Peters road/old church road Harborn?
pud

 

[Astoness]

phil..is it in this country lol...only joking...

another guess..would it be the edgbaston area...

 

[G G Jean]

Is it Aston Church with it's steeple covered in fog?.

 

[fatfingers]

No particular reason, just a gut feeling its the Scott Arms. Dunno why.

 

[Vivienne14]

Trying another approach. It's somewhere in north Birmingham perhaps ?Viv.

 

[Phil]

Pudding

all I can say is that you must buy the same books as me, It is St Peters Rd looking toward Church Rd Harborne. This is as far as I can make out how it looks today.

Phil

 

[Astoness]

well done pudding....phil its nice to see that the building on the left is still there....

next lol..

 

[Vivienne14]

Never have got that Phil, I was still in the north! But it's interesting to see that an entrance to the church was cut into the hedge, so that's not the original entrance. Nice to be able to compare these things through time. Viv

 

[pudding]

Phil, I did not get the last two answers from books the first one was from my minds eye as I once lived over that way, and the second one was having a look around google street maps
