Peter Walker Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 We can see it is labelled 'Handsworth Road' but I believe you are correct, it is Main Road and does not become Handsworth Road until the the bridge at junction with Handsworth Avenue. Photo taken at junction of Main Road with Waverley Road (just off photo to the right) looking towards Prince of Wales Road. Was Prince of Wales Road named that at the time of the photo, or even present then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon crapper Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 It is Main Road, though locally we often called it Handsworth Hill, the steep part is behind the camera. The shop on the right is the B&C Co-op, where we bought our grocery rations. W & E Sadler was a builder and builder's merchant. We lived in Lound Road, off Handsworth Avenue, just over the railway bridge at the top of the hill, houses built by Sadler I think. It is an old photograph, I don't remember tramway overhead poles with the fancy scroll work anywhere around there. Darnall parish church in the distance.
