Highgate Place railway bridge
Freight line serves also to take diverted passenger traffic when cross-city line is busy. Here, on Highgate Place, near junction with Oughton Road. Distinctive shaped pedestrian ways beneath.

Kyrwicks Lane railway bridge
One-way section of road, crosses under the freight railway line, at the point where once, the Camp Hill sidings began (hence why the bridge/tunnel is wider on the right-hand side than the left).
Beyond the bridge, Kyricks Lane is closed at junction with Oughton Road

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
