Woodbridge Road, Moseley

This is Woodbridge Road in Moseley about 1905. I don't think it's been posted before. Classic Edwardian street scene. The Trafalgar Hotel is on the right. Building still there but renamed the Patrick Kavanagh. I do wish they would leave pub names alone - 100 years of history changed! The tall building [centre right] contained the offices of the Registrar of Births Deaths, the collector of poor rates & assistant overseer for Kings Norton and the Relieving Officer, also the police station. At the far end of the road on the corner is the cupola on top of Cotterells grocers [later Shufflebothams - the high class grocer serving Moseley's elite]

And not forgetting evidence of horse drawn transport!
