| A combination of all three
transport systems - bus, trams and railways! Notice that Aston
Station is still labelled as part of the LMS network at this time even
though British Railways was formed in 1948. For more local history of this area see the Aston Brook Through Aston Manor website. |

of Holly Lane with Tyburn Road near the Dunlop factory. Kingsbury
Road is just out of shot to the right of the photo. John got in touch to say that he'd enjoyed adding colour to this picture and was kind enough to share the result with us. Here is his splendid version - a great job! He also pointed out that it looks like Her Majesty was on and undercover visit to Birmingham, stood to the left of the picture. |
