Cartland Road
Several suburban roads in south Birmingham were originally laid out in the 1930s as boulevards with enough space for a dual carriageway. Cartland Road is one of them. It links Vicarage Road (the A4040) with the Pershore Road (the A441).

Hazelwell Station, near Kings Heath, Birmingham
During early days of Birmingham's Cross-city rail service, many trains from Longbridge would go directly from Kings Norton to New Street via the freight line through Kings Heath. This enabled additional rolling stock to reach Birmingham without stacking up through Bournville and University.
The benefit to us railway photographers were rare views of former passenger stations on this ex-Midland Railway route. Hazelwell Station, closed in 1941, the southern platform and buildings are in this photo, was accessed from Cartland Road, situated between Kings Heath and Kings Norton. These buildings have since been dismantled.
The good news is the line is hoped to be reopened in future to passengers, when funding arrives for a new loop line to take trains to Bordesley and Moor Street instead of through St Andrews junction to New Street.
