Description:This postcard view looks along Lichfield Road towards the junction with Wolverhampton Road.
The thatched cottages on the left have been replaced by a garage. Further along the tall building with three gables was later occupied by Giles wallpaper and paint shop, with a section that sold glass. It then became the Browse antiques shop for several years until it was demolished and the site redeveloped. Browse originally stood between Drakeford Court (retirement apartments built around 2005) and W.R. Davies, Toyota Garage. Centre right the spire of the Baptist Church designed by Birmingham architect Ewan Harper and completed in 1896 can be seen. On the right the sign of the Sun Inn is just visible at the lower end of the street, and the gables of the shops opposite Newport Road can be seen in the distance.
