These were the first suburban houses on Green Lanes, dating from the Edwardian years. It was solidly built up with detached and semi-detached houses by 1937, going by old-maps.co.uk. The south end of Green Lanes had been severed by the L & NWR's Sutton Coldfield Branch: the necessary realignment gave the slight change of direction of the road, seen in the distance. Big old trees tell of an earlier undeveloped suburb when much of Green Lanes was a country lane between fields and allotment gardens.
