Acocks Green Library, Shirley Road
Opposite shops on Acocks Green main island, this library was a fabulous haven from the hustle and bustle of shopping days. I remember well the newspaper room on the left as you walked in. A listed building. http://www.birmingham.gov.uk/cs/Satellite?c=Page&childpagename=Lib-Acocks-Green%2FPageLayout&cid=1223092571365&pagename=BCC%2FCommon%2FWrapper%2FWrapper&rendermode=live%25%27+and+%27%25%27%3D%27

Midland Bank Acocks Green, 40-11-01
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-XX
This is the 1101 Warwick Road site as occupied by Midland Bank in 1963. The sorting code is 40-11-01 and it had a sub-branch at Tyseley. The "shadow" left by the bank's sign can still be seen on the brickwork. The bank, as HSBC, now operates from the other side of the road.
