Yardley Road

[Ian FOFB]

The 'then' pictures are taken from old postcards, the 'now' pictures taken from Google Streetview.
The older of the pictures is thought to date from the 1920's - 30's.

20's -30's Pictures from the previous post appear to be missing?

Another view (c1913) from the same position. Surprised the garden walls are still there but gateways have gone. Viv

Looks like relatively new housing on Yardley Road, Little Bromwich. There's something going on behind the postman with a horse and cart across the road - fixing the road/pavement ?

One of the two men on the left is pointing to something on the road.

I have always thought tht the houses on the right were very interesting as I have never seen anything similar anywhere else in Brum.
