Birmingham - Then and now

Birmingham back in the day

There has been a few changes happening in and around Birmingham over the past few decades and sometimes it may be difficult to image the city at how it used to be. A few interesting pictures have been edited together to show how different the city actually is, or isn't... 

Firstly, these edited photographs shows a merge of Colmore Row, now and then. 

Here is a snapshot of the High Street in Sutton Coldfield in 1888 and 2016; showing new and old buildings. There is also a contrast of pedestrians VS cars. 

This is a merged image of a road in Castle Vale comparing now to the 1960's. 

College road in Handsworth Wood. Comparing the local shops now and then. Picture from 1971.

This is showing the Queens Head Pub, Steelhouse Lane in Birmingham, then and now.

Birmingham's Needless Alley comparing modern and olden times. 

Can you remember these times? Does it bring back any memories? We would love to know, comment below what you think!
