Cheddar Road and Calthorpe Park
The park was laid out in 1853, on land given by the Calthorpe family. The road and houses were built between 1889 and 1902, on the former route of the River Rea, after the river had been straightened and moved slightly west.

Approximate site of Midland Bank, Balsall Heath Branch 40-11-03
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 approximate site of the Balsall Heath branch which was at 126 Balsall Heath Road. Few landmarks remain to give a more exact location. The sorting code was 40-11-03.

River Rea - artistic
The high retaining walls hiding the River Rea, between Calthorpe Park and Balsall Heath Road, are a canvas for graffiti artists, few people are likely to see.
The driftwood/rubbish hanging from the wall demonstrates perhaps a higher waterline at other times.
