Flats in Gillott Road, Edgbaston, Birmingham B16
These substantial Victorian villas are now mostly let as flats. There seems to be a fairly rapid turnover of tenancies given the number of 'to let' boards in evidence. These houses when built may well have been owned by landlords of the thousands of back-to-back houses in the central areas of Birmingham of which only a handful survive in a state of preservation. See http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=13573659 for some images of them.

419 Gillott Road, Edgbaston, Birmingham B16
Number 419 is the property at the left with the white front door, the tree and the 'to let' board in front of it. It is little different from its neighbours in the southern end of Gillott Road. It has been let as flats from at least the late 1940s as the photographer spent the first three years of his life in the first floor flat. At the time the branch railway to Harborne that ran at the bottom of our garden was still in use. It appears to be a linear park now.

South along Gillott Road, Edgbaston, Birmingham B16
This is the southernmost section of the Victorian road which is almost 2 kilometres long in all. In the far distance is the A456 Hagley Road, one of the main routes out of Birmingham to the west and the M5. The road at the left just beyond the white van is Holly Road. Its junction with Gillott Road has been restricted presumably to stop rat-running.
