Walford Road & Medlicott Road cross, Sparkhill
M J Nolan, purveyor of Twinings Fine Teas & Coffees, has given way to the Mughal General Stores, reflecting the shift over the years in Sparkhill from Irish settlement to South Asian, especially Pakistani. But Twinings still has pride of place at the street corner. To the left, the Hamza 24/7 Supermarket sports old-fashioned retractable awnings.

Lebanese flag, Highgate Road, Sparkbrook
A large mosque in a modern architectural style is proposed for this triangular site bounded by Stratford Road, Highgate Road and Stoney Lane (of 'Balti Triangle' fame, a restaurant quarter now much in decline). In the meantime a Lebanese flag flies from a lamppost, in solidarity with Lebanon under heavy bombardment by Israel during Israeli-Hezbollah fighting in October 2024.

We're not in Kansas - Christ Church, Sparkbrook
One of several churches damaged in the tornado that hit Birmingham in July 2005, Christ Church, Sparkbrook, was already being considered for closure. Permission was given to demolish on health and safety grounds - but as the bulldozers moved in in June 2006, the church was spot-listed. It was demolished in 2007.
