Kings Norton
23 Camp Lane - 19/12/57
|
|
|
|
| This is a
nice shot of a traditional, local shop on the corner of Camp Lane and
Station Road. Sad to see some of the old tin plate signs decaying
in the front garden. |
5 The Green - 11/10/67
|
|
|
|
| Taken in the
mid-late 1960's, the H. Bakewell hardware store is looking a little
dated compared to it's modern neighbours. |
Bulls Head - 11/9/61
|
|
|
|
| The Bulls
Head pub, built in 1902, replaced an older pub of the same name that
was located here. I'd never noticed the moulded bulls heads up in the gables before looking at this picture! The Chas Mann cycle store is just visible to the left of the pub. |
Redditch Road - 24/6/58
|
|
|
|
| Close to The
Green on Redditch Road was the Old Mews Garage. Despite the
appearance of the Olde English sign, it had only been there for 4 years
when this picture was taken, not 204 years! |
Cartland Arms - 6/9/61
|
|
|
|
| A nice
picture of the art deco style Cartland Arms on the corner of Parsons
Hill and Broad Meadow Lane. The building is now a McDonalds. The Cartland family lived not far from here and there is some infomation about them in this history of Kings Heath park. |
