Across the rooftops, Walsall, Staffordshire
I must have been testing out my new 35-135mm zoom lens when I took this, probably from the grounds of St Matthew's Church, looking towards the tower blocks at The Chuckery. (That old Olympus OM20 SLR feels very heavy these days!) There are actually five towers. Three are clearly seen here, with another tall one poking out above the middle tower. In the centre is Tantarra Street, I think.

The picture is from circa 1969-1972, I think, and scanned from a monochrome negative.

Lower Rushall Street in Walsall, Staffordshire
The approximate date for this image is circa 1968-1973, being scanned from a monochrome negative. The far wall includes the words: BUCKLES AND BELT CLASPS, LEATHER GOODS AND CLOTHING TRADES,BRACE FITTINGS, IRON AND BRASS FOUNDERS.
The premises is the Eyland and Sons Ltd, Buckle Manufacturers, Rushall Street Works, but they were originally far more than that.
"... Moses Eyland, who was making spectacles in Lower Rushall Street by 1813; by 1818 he combined the trade with that of saddler's ironmonger. By 1822 the firm had become Moses Eyland and Sons. By 1834 it was grinding lenses and producing some 3,000 pairs of spectacles a week. In 1889 it was grinding glass and rock-crystal lenses for its spectacles on a large scale as well as making buckles and engaging in gilding and electro-plating. Tariff barriers killed the export trade in spectacles, and early in the 20th century Eylands abandoned glass-working." (from A History of the County of Stafford: Volume 17: ) ed. M W Greenslade)
