The Farm
Driving through on the main road, Sparkbrook looks like one of the grottiest places in Birmingham, but it's not such a bad place to live. There are lots of quiet streets, on one of which can be found one of the city's hidden gems: The Farm, the oddly named residence of the bank-founding Lloyd family. This is the rear view.

Midland Bank Sparkbrook. Sorting Code 40-11-30
I worked for Midland Bank HSBC for 32 years and spent all but the last two in Birmingham Branches. I am photographing all the branches, or what's left of them, as they were when I joined Midland Bank in 1963. The branches all start with the sorting code 40-11.
This was the 155, Stratford Road, Sparkbrook branch on the corner of Main Street. The sorting code was 40-11-30

Camp Hill Goods station / yard (site)
Travelling on a train northward, having passed Balsall Heath and Highgate Road, the railway land once expanded greatly at the site of the old goods station / yard at Camp Hill. The same photo today would show the industrial estate that includes PC World at John Kempe Way.
