Balsall Heath and Ladypool Road, or the "Lane" as it was referred to by locals. One of the best local shopping areas that could be found anywhere. It's tagged as 1980, but it looks more like the 70's to me.
Bristol Road South at Northfield at what looks to be early in the 20th century, The white building on the right is the turnpike (toll house) that stood at the junction of what is now Rochester Road from 1601 up to 1923 though probably not the same building all that time.
