Shakespeare Road and the corner of Monument Road, April 1960

Shakespeare Road, 1967

This photo is almost certainly in the corner of Shakespeare Road and Garbett Street. I lived facing the Commercial pub in Shakespeare Road and had a friend, Malcolm Clay, who lived a few doors away from your photo.

Looking at the direction which the photo was taken you can see the entry to the road in the top right of the picture (the rectangular shiny bit).

 

The railway line would be behind the houses on the left. As you went out of the entry Shakespeare Road is facing you and Garbett Street to the right going down to King Edwards rd.

 

Brilliant Web site. Lived in 'Shaky Road' from 1948 to 1963,now in Redditch.
