Stratford Road, Sparkbrook, Birmingham
At this point Stratford Road is also the A34. The junction with Warwick Road (the A41) is visible on the right, below a poster from the general election campaign that culminated three days previously. This area has a large Pakistani population and there are a large number of shops on Stratford Road serving that community.

Nelson Mandela School, corner of Colville Road & Stoney Lane, Sparkbrook
Nelson Mandela School in Birmingham welcomed its first children in 1987, and was officially opened by Archbishop Desmond Tutu of Cape Town the following year. Mandela was at that time a prisoner in South Africa. He had been detained by the South African authorities in 1962 for leading resistance to the apartheid system of White supremacist rule in his country.
Mandela visited the school on the 11th October 1993. He had been released from prison in 1990 and as President of the African National Congress party was negotiating the end of apartheid with the government. The following year he was to become President of the Republic of South Africa, the country's first head of state from its Black African majority, having been elected in the country's first multiracial elections.

Midland Bank 382 Stratford Road. Sorting code 40-11-32
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 is the site of the 382 Stratford Road Branch close to the busy Stratford Road, Warwick Road junction. The original night safe is still on the outside of the building. The sorting code was 40-11-32
