Handsworth Police Station
The police station stands at the corner of Thornhill Road and Golds Hill Road. The architecture suggests the end of the 19th or beginning of the 20th century. POLICE and COURT are carved on the lintel of the porch, and the brackets support a pair of blue lamps - very 'old school'. It is a large building and continues off to the right of the photo.

Handsworth Mandalas
The mandalas, circular patterns, have been laser-cut into the galvanised steel roof of the Pyramid Tower in Handsworth Park Image They were designed by Pauline Bailey together with a group of older Bangladeshi women from the locality, who were reflecting on their life journeys as part of a project called Veranda Stories. The tower dates from 2017 and "has a meditative quality to it when standing or sitting underneath and viewing the sky through the patterns in the roof of the pyramid" according to the website of the Handsworth Park Arts Trail https://www.handsworthcreative.com/park-arts-trail .

Pyramid Tower, Handsworth Park
This galvanised steel tower was designed by the Birmingham artist Pauline Bailey. The mandalas cut into the truncated pyramid roof were designed by Bailey in co-operation with local elders, mainly Bangladeshi women from a sewing group, who expressed their life journeys through these circular patterns as part of a project called Veranda Stories. See the website of Handsworth Creative https://www.handsworthcreative.com/veranda-stories-pyramid-tower .
In the distance can be seen The Sons of Rest Building, erected in the 1930s by a society of retired men.

Telephone Kiosk on Hampstead Road
This telephone kiosk stands on the west side of Hamstead Road at the junction of Broughton Road. When the photograph was taken the kiosk looked rather neglected and one wonders if its days are numbered.
